ReplyDeleteYou know, I wanted to, but I kept starting and getting stumped. It's such a primal, undiluted sensory experience that every critical angle I tried to approach it from just ended up circling back around to the subjective experience of watching it. It's like trying to review comedy; either you personally find it funny or you don't, and there's not much use trying to explain why to someone else. But obviously I did love it, and maybe I'll take another swing at trying to articulate my feelings on it some day.
