The movie is great in many ways.
The colors of the film are carefully selected and vary according to the mood and feelings of the main character. Sometimes the colors are faded and blurry, and sometimes they are full of life.
And also what I like about the movie is how I can feel the actor's sense of loss, need, and desire. Besides this, the movie also has very beautiful original music, full of sensation.
Solid 5 out of 5 ⭐.
