    "why do you take photographs?"
    this is slow cinema to a t - every scene feels subtly drawn
    out, less like a film and more like taking a peek into the
    day to day life of the person right across from you.
    there's a distinct lack of a dreamy, filmy haze to it - which
    lends it a refreshingly realistic and heartfelt feeling.

    i love the use of the polaroid camera in this and it's
    perfectly in theme too! an…

    "everyone here at this hotel is just like me.
    just as lost,
    just as lonely.
    it was the first time in my life, i didn't feel alone."

    i've been rewatching this film, for the past couple of hours.
    despite how morbid it sounds, it also just makes you feel at
    ease; you already know it'll be sad but it still tells its story
    patiently and beautifully too. it's nothing profound - just
    permits you the slow realisation, as with our main heroine,
    that we aren't alone in these feelings. sometimes connecting
    with others can make us both brave and weak.

    晚安。
