This is like the most beautiful horror film I have seen in quite a long time. The shots, the rawness of the feeling and themes the movie portrays. Its very obvious how Robbert Eaggers was very passionate on addapting this haunting story.

i don’t think i will ever get over this movie. i’ve already seen it twice in theatres and i cried and was scared and was full of joy. i love gothic horror more than anything else. i love beautiful visuals and some weird little fucked up things happening. i love having the ability to think critically and analyze movies, especially ones with such powerful themes and amazing metaphors/representations like this one. eggers you will always be famous

now that this is streaming on netflix i could finally show it to my partner after having raved about it for years and years now. one of my all time favourites, and one of the sexiest and most biting films of all time.
set in Mexico, it centres two young men, one of whom is the son of (corrupt) government official, salivating desperately over an older woman who impulsively agrees to go on road trip with them to a beach they've made up when her life starts falling apart. it seamlessly juxtaposes their trivial concerns and petty arguments, with the working class and Indigenous peoples of Mexico. it digs into class and sexual politics, and heteronormativity, whilst somehow remaining incredibly entertaining and super erotic.
also shout out to baby Diego Luna and Gael Garcia Bernal.

There’s a beach at South West Rocks in northern NSW called Trial Bay. It is the only place in my childhood that I remember being really, genuinely happy.
I haven’t been there in probably close to twenty years now but I can still taste the salt water when I would accidentally swallow it if I went into the proper surf, and the sweetness of this green apple syrup I would get on my snow cones that a random fella would sell there every summer. The sunburns I would get were insane because I would just spend all day snorkelling in the shallows. There wasn’t anything that interesting to look at but I was captivated by the idea that there was like a whole other little world under the surface of the water.
Whenever I think about what being at peace would feel like for me I think about those days at that beach.

probably the most important, game changing book i’ve ever read. should be mandatory, especially if you live in a current or former colonial state
