VIBE
This film feels like a deeply unsettling, yet darkly humorous descent into a man's obsessive fixation. It's a melancholic, psychological study of forbidden desire and its tragic consequences, wrapped in a classic cinematic style that lingers with a sense of unease and a strange, uncomfortable fascination.
