Thus (before I will pick up where I left off), if anyone has anything to say/post on this subject I will gladly hear/read.

whenever i'm dating a girl and she starts professing her adoration for a noe movie, i know it's over. why? there are just some things you can automatically know about a woman when she tells you her favourite movie is "enter the void":
- being a progressive feminist is an important part of her identity, but she displays no interest in indigenous sovereignty
- she is a struggling artist, doing the work of MARXIST SAINTS, and you are a fucking suit at a law firm. incidentally, she receives an allowance from her parents, who are both financial advisors
- she believes deeply in astrology, and the only reason why you don't is because you're beholden to the western chauvinist preoccupation with "reason"
- she very rarely eats meat, for ethical reasons. but everyone has cheat days. very occasionally she'll have some chicken or something. when she was in paris she had foie gras and it was delicious
- she consistently mentions the race of non-white persons, especially men, when it has no bearing on the story, especially when they're (often rightly) being portrayed negatively. "and there were like 10 asian guys there"... "this big group of east indian guys were all staring at me"... if you criticize this, you are being dismissive of her experience
- "look, a friend of mine from high school is a cop now, and he genuinely just wants to help people"

I do love this reaction. Mine was also of a similar impression to Durmont's 'Humanite'. I'm also quite puzzled by his new series of musicals.
