Exotica (1994)

****

Sometimes a mood and a movie fit perfectly, resulting in a 'memorable' viewing experience. I've seen Exotica probably 4 times over the years, and each time, its been a different movie. The layers peeled back to reveal another not seen the first time. Well, I was in 'that' mood last night...really twisted up inside...and decided to put it on, mostly for background. I just wanted to be distracted. But I sat down, and from the opening title song...I was pulled in.

I forgot how hypnotic this film was. Part of me is at a loss for words because I'm tired, and part of me is at a loss simply because I don't think I can really do this film justice by talking about it. Its still haunting me.
