the feeling off it being 3am and getting fastfood is captured excellently well here as the pursuit is love is stylish, aesthetically exotic yet painful and violent. i love how most of these performances are so wacky as it strikes a juxtaposition with the themes at play which is the exact idea, people are wacky and strange but they can also be endearing.
it gives the film so much personality.(watch my filmography: <a href="https://boxd.it/2A45h">boxd.it/2A45h</a> )

How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A neon-lit nocturnal fever dream where an assassin tries to escape his brutal profession while his increasingly unhinged partner's infatuation spirals into dangerous obsession. It's surreal, darkly funny, and deeply disquieting, a romantic thriller that refuses to play by genre rules.
