I feel the same way. This was my third viewing, and it just reminded me how much more there is to understand.

Thanks for joining!

Yesss, I agree. Glad you could join us!

Interesting. I probably read that as the doctor trying to be charitable, even in the face of murder. Like... rationalizing your problematic fave

I'm so glad you liked it as a first-time watcher. It's one of those movies that I *know* has so much to dissect, but I kind of don't want to because I'm afraid of ruining what I love in an intuitive way, if that makes any sense.

Crossroads: A US Folk Horror Zine @crossroadsfolk.bsky.social · 5d

Do! It's great!

Happy to make Fridays even brighter!

I just love the complexity of their relationship even though they've known each other for a short time. It rings so true.

I feel like I saw something recently that very much reminded me of November, but now I can't remember what it was

Gahhh it's so good. I don't even understand it all, which is why I appreciate watching it again. One day, I need to do a deep dive to learn about the cultural context and folklore, etc.

It's all very mixed up, isn't it? They're competitive--but are they proving themselves to each other, or do they both want Julia? (Why not both?)

The nobles here are very much part of the local folklore. They may be from a different class, but they're not separate from the superstitions, etc.

I'm trying to figure out what the colors in this film are saying. The vibrant blues, golds, greens, and reds have been seen on the more "noble" characters, but we're seeing them here in the folk dancing scene too
