<PERSON>
earlier today i was reading a shoujo manga and i came across a line that went, “people don’t fit together like puzzle pieces, you know.” the line may have been for comedic effect, as are most lines in the manga, but it was in reference to a character’s attempt at match-making her classmates, some of whom happened to have one-sided crushes on each other. i thought about this while watching <PERSON>... it made me sad but well, it’s true. 427
in less than a day and in just 2 movies <PERSON> has impressed me so much. and this one is only his debut. the parallels with cherbourg almost felt like a treat. <PERSON>’s shot composition is brilliant and his style keeps me continuously engaged in even these not-so-exciting tales, something he always seems to retain across the wide range of stories and techniques of his little cinematic universe. 594
