Clicked play almost jokingly out of the curiosity how long I would be able to bear with a genre so far stretched from my aesthetic orbit, but, idk, ended up with a full 2hr watching session behind me. Except for the overcharged comicality in certain scenes, which is permissible considering the film’s comic origin, I was awed by its success in combing through the entanglements and covetousness without going sensualist, all under a theme that’s almost stamped indecency. The flow of emotions is so measured and gestures so reserved that it’s hard not to think of the Stevens in “The Remains of the Day.” https://www.imdb.com/title/tt7637350/
