cinema spell. moment to moment yang has entire worlds within worlds in the frame. there is always something. something to learn. something to question. something to open your heart. something to sicken. here, we watch a city and a few of it's inhabitants on the brink of Something. constant suggestion. our human experience, our actions rippling outwards. the butterfly effect of it all. are we in the past? present? convergent? dreaming?

i could see tsai watching this beside me and it ripped me up. terrorizers is all over stray dogs, days, goodbye dragon inn. pick any image here and you'll wonder why you would bother spending time watching anyone else. horrifying film at times and yet the deepest comfort. i am safe with yang's camera.

the entirety of the film is within the shot of the hallway closet behind sayoko - nothing becomes of it because it is actually everything. we want to know what's behind the curtain, to see evil. sayoko's daughter should be running through that hallway, but she isn't. sayako's purpose is behind her now, somewhere else, never to be seen again.
serpent's path is about sight.

we have the culmination of k.k.'s major works in this image. sayoko in the glow of the laptop - out of focus and dead, an apparition - the hallway to her Closet the only thing left.

just some notes/quotes i took during this watch:

"yep. its intent then says he was stunned after."

"mamiya? that's fine. mamiya can be my name. it probably is."

"me? I just did nothing all day long."

• fumie only leaves the house to see the doctor, otherwise eternal sickness of domesticity. the dryer. goes outside immediately gets lost. alien world. still finds herself at hospital, the only place for her.

"all I want is to find words to explain the crimes."

• always the train lights. city itself is a hypnotic suggestion. infrastructural psychosis.

• takabe's outbursts protect him. most vulnerable ones stay bottled up.

"oh, so society's to blame?"

takabe nearly makes it all the way through. too drained. the rain. his sickness (cure) matures, forms pulsing glistening storm constellation and moves outside him, into the world. shining pinpoints of pain.

" now? do you everything? you do? this is the end for you, too."

"a missionary, sent to propagate the ceremony"


"all right, i'll ask you again. fujiwara-of-headquarters, who are you?" there is only work.
