a very artsy, experimental film. the opening sequence alone is one of the best i’ve seen, and bauhaus fits it perfectly. the aesthetics are incredibly sharp and cohesive, and the whole film carries this rich, atmospheric mood. catherine deneuve is completely captivating, and her chemistry with susan is genuinely electric. that said, it’s not a plot driven film. it leans much more into mood and visuals than narrative. i did appreciate how it touches on the slow erosion of time and the quiet monotony of immortality, which is something you don’t often see portrayed this way. the film is visually striking and thematically interesting, even if it feels a bit underdeveloped.
