Not here for anything in particular, you'll just have to go with vibes (although films [movies], motorsport, politics, and culture seem to come up a lot.)

Bloody marvellous tbh. It does what After The Hunt really fails to do (and am now wondering if After The Hunt was a little bit inspired by the same play). I didn't know Ibsen wrote Less Than Zero before Brett Easton Ellis did.

What a superb adaptation. It is beautiful as expected but all the dynamics between all of the ensemble are so well played too. It had a sort of Tolland does Rope air to it, I think because it's one (grand) location.

Only in the sense that if momentum did not regard spatial symmetry, just moving through space could change one's momentum which would break classical mechanics. I suppose that is a bit post hoc so perhaps "intuitive" was the wrong word.
