Viewing Notes
A visually beautiful film that ultimately fell flat for me due to its outsized focus on visual metaphor in place of actual storytelling. It didn’t help that the story didn’t seem to warrant the amount of effort put into telling it.
I also really dislike the title. Fever, which seems to be its original title, is much more apt.
