watched odyssey (2026; dir. christopher nolan) last saturday. to be honest, it was kind of my fault for setting a high expectation. but to quote my friend: "appreaciate him for the art," and for a 3-hours movie, it's fine. my eyes were all on annie and tom all the time.

chotto omoidashitadake/just remembering (2021; dir. matsui daigo) is a work i'd like to hold dear. blending the past and present can be poetic. life is never linear, isn't it? communication, too: just how many languages in this world, yet none translate to understanding.
