It's one of my favorite films in years. Absolute masterclass in subtlety and minimalistic filmmaking. Love that it also released in the same year as EEOAA, which is also great but pretty much the exact opposite in pretty much every way.

It's probably my favourite film this side of Moonlight.

Made in Abyss’ OST is one of my go to recommendations for people trying out my 800s. It’s also my go to anime for people looking for cutesy stories of a couple kids going on a charming adventure.

I don’t necessarily think that Hannibal can love, not in the way normal people do. Will as well, to a lesser extent. They both see a bit of themselves in the other, they can understand each other, and they allow the other to see themselves without their masks on.

I do think there is a love there, or something that looks like it. The shape but not the full form. But not the traditional romantic love. Which is what I think Fuller was building towards. If it’s love, but not in a way that that’s supposed to be truly understandable to the average viewer.
