"ππ©π’π΅ πͺπ΄ π΅π©π¦π³π¦ π΅π° π΄π¦π¦?"
Easily the best musical which features a song number smack-dab in the middle of a murder trial. I really wish the last 40 or so minutes (minus the jaw-dropping ending) didn't veer so hard into - truthfully - pretty manipulative and rudimentary melodrama because the rest of this is one of very greatest musical experiences I've ever seen. A hallucinatory crossroads between visionary musical theater and downright grim drama. The behind-the-scenes hell that took place all aside, the entrancing performance that BjΓΆrk gives in this is one of the most seminal of the entire millennium. So full of traumatizing characterizations, haunting and experimental musical numbers (not a single bad song to be found), largely genius storytelling, and a mercilessly abusive milieu that it had me shaking and out of breath before the first hour even passed. The way my heart pounded during this is unreal, one of those films where you just *know* something horrible is going to happen just around the corner but you never know when it'll hit - but when it does it's like a ton of bricks being dropped, rinse and repeat. Raw, innovating filmmaking at some of its most unforgettable.
