This will definitely become a classic cult.
So beautiful! So fashionable! This movie gave me extreme audiovisual beauty. The intense color conflict, the psychedelic electronic soundtrack, the transformation of light and shadow, the wonderful neon colors and the composition are all too beautiful. But the plot and dialogue are really bad, but too bad it's good.
To be honest, I originally watched it for Abbey Lee, but at the beginning of the film, the low and psychedelic drumbeat and the bleeding Jesse lying on the sofa in neon light hit me instantly. This movie is so fashionable and beautiful that I always feel like watching the Dior Secret Garden series... It is artistic, bloody and violent, full of formalistic visual art.
Among them, Ruby's ice love, Jesse's limbs bent lying on the bottom of the pool, blood spreading, Gigi and Sarah showering Ruby in the blood watching them, Ruby lying half-naked in the dirt pit, and Sarah eating her eyes are the most beautiful moments. This kind of beauty is alien and bloody, it is the embodiment of perversion, arrogance, and desire. Do you really feel sick when Sarah eats Jesse's eyes?
Whether it is Ruby, Jesse, Gigi or Sarah, they are all pursuing beauty, longing for beauty, and being attracted and controlled by beauty. This is the deepest desire of human nature: Beauty isn't everything. It's the only thing.
