Fish in Exile

maaaan i wasnt that into this overall. im a sensitive, easy to cry kinda person too! the little things did hurt—walking the fish is one image that haunts me—but ionno, you ever get to a point where a book is so sad that it kinda turns to melodrama. that's how it felt for me lol

vi khi nao is definitely an incredible writer. someone said that this felt more like an experiment with language and i second that. i felt like i just got out of a showing of something from tsai ming-liang but with hirokazu koreeda's narrative. which is great! i guess. but as beautiful as the images were i'm still lost. maybe this just ain't my jam!
