So glad you enjoyed it! I spent way too much time tweaking those transitions, so it's nice to hear that they contributed something to your viewing experience :)
I do recommend the movie for anyone who doesn't mind the unsettling subject matter. It's a strange one. I don't think it's perfect by a long shot...it falls short of exploring some of the issues it raises (though reading some commentary by the director makes it clear that he was focusing on particular elements and maybe he just wasn't interested in answering so much as provoking). But it's almost hypnotic to watch and I definitely found it compelling.
Yeah, I remember reading the synopsis while the movie was still in development...I think I physically recoiled! A strange movie in many ways, but interesting to vid. Thanks a bunch for giving it a whirl - hopefully no permanent damage done to your psyche ;)
Thank you so much for the kind comment! I'm glad you enjoyed the song choice - when that song/source combo is right, it really drives a project (real life sidetracked me so many times while working on this that I probably would have given it up if the song hadn't felt so fitting).
You always do such a great job of choosing songs for your vids that are out of the popular mainstream but always so apt. I knew neither the song nor the subject matter coming in, but nevertheless I can see that they are perfectly matched.
The segment you've capped above is the creepiest, imo, with her reading over Tommy's shoulder and nosing into his neck. Whoa!
Thank you for giving it a watch! YouTube auto-generated the thumbnail, which almost makes it creepier...HOW DID THEY KNOW?!? LOL, it's definitely one of the most unsettling moments in a movie that has lots of creepy to choose from.
(and freezing rain here today...CAN IT BE DISNEY NOW?)
For some time I wanted to leave a few words here for this beautiful thing, but I ordered the film from amazon and assumed I would have gotten it long before now so I could watch the movie...and watch your vid again after, but alas, I see the DVD was delayed, to put it mildly, and they say it is supposed to arrive by April 16...ugh. I ordered it in February! I should have been more on top of it and tried somewhere else by now

Aw, you are so kind to leave this sweet comment! I hope your "slow boat" arrives and you get the movie soon -- it is definitely interesting and strange and (for me) oddly compelling. Thanks so much for the nice words about the song choice and editing. It was a struggle to re-learn all the technical stuff, so I'm pleased this vid got DONE and not left in my heap of abandoned projects.
Yes, we must talk soon! Drop me a message and let me know when might work for you. I have a friend coming to visit next weekend, but after that the next few weekends are free. I miss you, too, and would love to catch up!
