I recently watched a movie that was absolutely excellent, a masterclass in telling a story without having an overt plot and use of symbolism and behavioral patterns and changes to depict a deeply human situation. Did I have fun? No, it was uncomfortable as hell as it's the story of a relationship in which both parties are bad for each other with one pushing for more and more and the other increasingly pulling back and not into it. It reminded me of many of my worst insecurities and my worst relationships, especially those with people with bpd that wasn't under control.
Movie is the Duke of Burgundy if anyone is interested, cw bugs and bdsm.
And I think it's worth comparing it to another movie recently shown to me by the same friend: Tokyo Godfathers. It's a fun and artistically valuable movie, and while it's often uncomfortable, it has points to its discomfort whether in the form of social commentary or to enable the characters to grow. I don't think I've ever seen a better depiction of the type of homeless people who are neither transiently homeless nor severely mentally ill. It's also an interesting insight into Christianity and Christian symbolism in Japanese culture. It's ultimately about how even fuck ups who've crashed out of society have goodness in them. And it manages to be fun and exciting the entire time. I highly recommend it
