this film depicts loneliness in such a humane and palpable manner. extremely sweet and a nice departure from the typical romantic comedy.
i always find cities the best landscape to depict loneliness, this film reminded me of a favorite quote of mine:
“there must be thousands of people in this city who are dying to welcome you into their small bolted rooms, to sit you down and tell you what has happened to their lives. and the night smells like snow. walking home for a moment you almost believe you could start again. and an intense love rushes to your heart, and hope. its unendurable, unendurable.” - franz wright

read from 2021 abt modern counterculture, rejecting tech overlords, and the dark forests of the internet
"To be truly countercultural today, in a time of tech hegemony, one has to, above all, betray the platform, which may come in the form of betraying or divesting from your public online self.”

well-written article analyzing cronenburg's films and contrasting them with today's sexual politics and lack of eroticism.
passage i enjoyed: In fact, we are not impermeable packages of preformed desires, importing our likes and dislikes around with us from one encounter to the next like papers in a briefcase. An erotic craving is inextricable from the ferment that foams up when oneself is sluiced into another. Not only is it impossible for us to know whether an encounter will be deflating or transformative but we cannot know what sort of metamorphosis will ensue if the sex is as jarring as we can only hope it will be.
