my favorite film ♥
love how meticulously each shot is framed – all doorways and corridors and alleyways. love the warm, rich colors, silk prints, and beautifully tailored, close-fitting, stiff collar dresses. the film has a sparse elegance, a subtle refinement and polish, like a japanese woodblock print. its aesthetic sits well with southeast asia. what i love most is how love can be about a look, a lovely neckline, or how someone walks away or takes a turn. it doesn’t have to be loud and torrid, it can be measured and mostly in the mind. am going to angkor wat because of this film.
