It's unsurprising how much it connects with me, considering the obvious Mulholland Drive influences, as well as, yk, the general queerness
The contrast in quality compared to "Ammonite", a movie predestined to be enjoyed by me (fossils, queers, social recluses, Saoirse Ronan, Kate Winslett), is staggering though.
