80s sun-drenched Italian countryside, a dude with a knack for dowsing robbing ancient Etruscan graves with his ragtag friends, perfect soundtrack/Italo disco, Isabella Rossellini. It’s perfect.
apart from the gorgeous italian views this movie captures the feeling of summer delirium / restlessness / yearning for connection / etc… also on my mind are Paprika, Pretty Woman, Ex Machina and Kill Bill for some reason
The sound design, the shot choices, the almost sci-fi looking settings, Monica Vitti's performance as an archetypal modern subject, this movie has it all and more.

Because as a lesbian it is my duty to honor them both???? being reminded of how cute they both are every time I look at my phone is extremely pleasant.
