"Fuck is a great word." |
I had an extremely personal and intense emotional reaction to this film. This thing spoke to me not only because of it's own merits but because of it's timing- I felt as though this character was written just for me. I stumbled across this film and it aligned with me in perfect irony. It's about this man whose wife died and he finds himself oddly unmoved. It forces him to collide with a hard truth; he never loved her. In the wake of that realization he has to find his way out of the life he lived and didn't care about. To rediscover what and who he is, he becomes obsessed with taking things apart to see how they work; including his entire house. Here's where the irony comes in. In the film, he takes apart his entire house to see the working parts within while I was trying to put my house back together. Although I was so wrapped up in this film I never moved a thing.
