Somewhere: see this, then, think like that.

I was a little disappointed at first, but then got more and more disappointed. After thinking about it, this is another matter.
The tone of the atmosphere almost continued from "Lost in Translation", and more. The layout becomes wider.
This time, Sophia used a lot of long takes, almost no soundtrack, and a completely life-like narrative structure. The plot is flatter,
less interesting, and even more empty. These happen to fit the mood of the film - bottomless. dull.
Therefore, the effect is more real, profound and contagious. Like a mirror, it reflects our own life.
See this, and then, think like that.
Life is still elsewhere, still small, still moving.

  • Johnny Marco: Hi, Cleo.

    Cleo: Hey.

    [beat]

    Cleo: Why are you taking a bath next door? Is yours broken?

    Johnny Marco: ...yeah.

  • Johnny Marco: What's that book about again?

    Cleo: It's about this girl that's in love with this guy. But he's a vampire, and his whole family's vampires. So she can't really be with him.

    Johnny Marco: Why doesn't she become one too?

    Cleo: doesn't she become one too? Cleo: Because she can't. He doesn't want to turn her into a vampire. And if she gets too close to him, he won't be able to help himself.
