chaosphaereThis is an absolutely gorgeous and well made film but it doesn’t work for my neurology.
The film is too eyegrabby for me to watch sober (because being medicated is the only condition under which I can ever just sit and watch something for two hours). I almost never watch films that require too much fixed attention unless it’s in a theater. I would have loved this in a movie theater but I’m too distracted at home to follow it. I can’t just sit and watch a film and do nothing.
I tend to prefer stuff that is actually less visual *because* I can draw, check my email, etc while I watch it.
The speech here is too dense, too. It’s a constant wall of words. It’s very talky. I don’t like talky stuff unless the talk is paced and there’s adequate silence between speech acts. It’s like a constant wall of words in which people are constantly speaking.
It’s actually kind of nauseating… like low level sensory overload.
The speech patterns in this film are almost migraine-inducing to me. I’m able to hear the rhythm of the speech - it’s a distracting, CONSTANT patter - with a few exceptions, someone is CONSTANTLY talking to someone else - but I cannot actually parse any of the things being said. And the speech is too rapid for me to follow the closed captioning.
The speech is not naturalistic speech.
