this movie has lowkey taken over my life--ive already seen it twice and it officially came out three days ago.
the soundtrack is so great and summery, this better be playing in all the clubs this summer. get yourself a panini too.

i might be a little late to this one (the ephemeral and deeply reactive pace of culture is something i’ve always struggled to keep pace with), but i haven’t been able to listen to anything else all week!!
that reznor still has the chops to mastermind music that’s every bit as propulsive and vivacious as his output from the nineties is about as revelatory as the film itself — which, in my opinion, indubitably cements luca guadagnino as a genuine giant in contemporary cinema.
do your ears a favor and play it loud, but not without treating your eyes to the film first ;P
some especially pronounced highlights:
- ‘yeah x10’ (crunchy, sleek and catchy — what’s more to love?!)
- ‘brutalizer / brutalizer 2’ (so good it shows up twice)
- ‘match point’ (the apex of an instantaneously classic motif, and only half as engaging as the climax to which it backdrops!)

ten amazing songs that are not only absolutely banging but also, after seeing the film, make me really focus on the task at hand

read from 2021 abt modern counterculture, rejecting tech overlords, and the dark forests of the internet
"To be truly countercultural today, in a time of tech hegemony, one has to, above all, betray the platform, which may come in the form of betraying or divesting from your public online self.”

well-written article analyzing cronenburg's films and contrasting them with today's sexual politics and lack of eroticism.
passage i enjoyed: In fact, we are not impermeable packages of preformed desires, importing our likes and dislikes around with us from one encounter to the next like papers in a briefcase. An erotic craving is inextricable from the ferment that foams up when oneself is sluiced into another. Not only is it impossible for us to know whether an encounter will be deflating or transformative but we cannot know what sort of metamorphosis will ensue if the sex is as jarring as we can only hope it will be.
