a lot better then bi gan's previous outing where love and hatred are fluid, a man seeks for the woman he can't forget.

impeccable sound design and generally the world bi gan creates is better made then his first feature. i generally think kaili blues has pretty good cinematography but its world always felt very loose in the sense that it sometimes didn't felt cohesive. he later used that as an advantaged in resurrection but here it generally feels like a cohesive world that makes sense in its own terms.

i really like how the world ingeneral has a sense of mondanity despite its characters being heavily steered in multiple directions due to love. love is by technicality, ordinary but it also doesn't play by the rules of conformaty and is different to everyone else but its stuck in this regular world and thats what the film feels like.
