Long before Ken Russell imported queer subterranean aesthetics into straight, mainstream cinema, Kenneth Anger laid down the entire blueprint with Puce Moment (1949).

Pitchforkが2004年リリースの「塊魂」のサントラを9.4点の高ポイントを付けて大絶賛しててビックリ!レビューを読むとゲーム音楽としての異質さに加えて、当時全盛期を過ぎていた渋谷系ムーヴメントの亜流かつ傍流に位置するユニークな作品として今作を捉えてるのが面白かった。改めてちゃんと聴いてみよう。

POSSIBLE LOVE is now out on select theaters before its Netflix debut on Nov 6th. One of my favorite movies of the year with 4 amazing performances. All 4 are great but MY GOD Jeon Do-yeon performance here is next level. Should be a lock for best actress.
