I knew I would like this the minute it opened with a bunch of half naked dudes on a beach watching Phoenix finger a sand mermaid
Phillip Seymour Hoffman and Joaquin Phoenix have an exceptional chemistry on screen. This film is outstanding from start to finish.
Style over substance. Not easy to interpret but the acting is masterclass. It is a joy to watch Hoffman and Phoenix act together. 9/10 stars
I enjoyed it, but its one of them movies where you think "what the hell was that all about"
The processing scene is the greatest scene in the history of cinema.
A flashback into a life after WW2 and hardships of life at that time. Kind of slow, but emotionally very deep at times. Not for everyone
You flay your body to destroy the self. Can there be anything else? Can I be someone else? How to feed this grinding hunger behind my eyes?
Outstanding acting and top notch technical filmmaking really carried me through the trenches of a pretty somber and dark character study.
One of the best movies I've ever watch!
A fascinating character study of two men whose lives are inextricably bound by love and trauma.
