A film with a clear idea and deep development of emotional content. Which makes it smart, elite and, as a result, a failure. A film with a deep thought, with good direction, with a detailed study of scenes, completely without humor and fan service will never collect a billion. The general viewer is too stupid for this - crayfish look for shells, and nothing more.
The film is unreal and is a metaphor. Through pseudo-events, the life experiences of two heroes are shown:
A woman who cannot find a foothold in her own man and a corner of safety for herself and her child in her own home.
A writer who lives a duty to create, ready to make any sacrifice, including his home, marriage and future.
She loves him, but that’s not enough, she needs him to belong to her and take care of her family. He loves her, but that’s not enough, he needs to sound to the world, to strangers, to try to change them. And this is the truth of life, so it was and will be – a woman always pulls a man to the bottom of safety and comfort and does it for the sake of the children. And the tragedy is that if we excluded the interests of one side, there would be no civilization.
There is also a second layer of understanding. He's God, she's Earth. It was quite obvious about God because his son had been eaten and he had forgiven, but the Earth had yet to be reached. Because God's paradigm is that he shouldn't have a woman at all, he's self-sufficient. As a result, a woman who has single-handedly created a house that is not appreciated or cherished by crowds of people can only personify nature. She rebels against people and arranges them a fiery apocalypse, and God begins all over again with a new planet.
However, not all images of the film are clear. Either I didn’t catch them, or they were inserted simply to make the film fit some nominal thriller cliché. A hint of a monster in the toilet, a non-drying stain of blood - why? What was the heartbeat in the walls of the house?
Because of these things, the film seems to me overthinking. It's not some psychedelic, the author of which did not know what he was shooting. It's a film with clear morals at the end, but with extra details in the middle.
I’ve seen some people reading the movie. If the author planned such a discrepancy, it is harmful to the work – when there are too many morals, they only interfere with each other.
