WHERE ARE WE? Somewhere.

I wanted to give it four stars, but when I saw the ending, I decided to give it five stars.




Is johnny finally free? He exiled himself? Or redemption?
The sudden appearance of her daughter at some point in his life made johnny begin to re-examine his life.

After meeting Cleo again, he slowly started his "real" life. When there are scenes with her, they are no longer dead, they become very beautiful and very angry. Especially the underwater scene is even more unforgettable, her sweetness, the kind of freshness that no one of her age can have now; johnny is even more childish and smiled with white teeth. That scene will probably be etched in my mind forever.

His life looks beautiful, but it's actually boring. An atmosphere of loneliness continues throughout the film, and the camera does not move, reflecting Johnny's every move. Sitting in contemplation, sipping cigarettes, drinking wine, and having non-stop and casual sex.

The endless sadness in his head was replaced by one long shot after another.
Seeing his dazed expression, I felt the same way.



"I don't know what to do," he said, sobbing.

Yes, what should be done?
I don't know, and neither does he.


When will that infinite sadness end?

How to escape?

Johnny drove the car and walked through the seemingly endless road with the camera.
There was no fuel. He got out of the car and continued to walk with a smile. Maybe this is the ending he wants, go on brightly.


Did he redeem himself? I do not know either. Maybe he doesn't know either.
