Not on Criterion, Kanopy, or Hoopla, but found it on Netflix streaming. Actually, I could have read the novel, as Hoopla has the downloadable novel. But I'm a slow reader and opted to just watch the movie to shorten the anticipated misery.
Yeah, I see what you mean. It's always darkest before the event horizon, then straight to vantablack.
Unpleasant on so many levels. The crushing conformity and indoctrination, all administered sadistically. The total annihilation of an entire culture. And then, yeah, the icing on the cake...
You know it's a dark movie when the feel-good moment involves horse turds.
I thought Indian Horse was on his way to better things when Choy Yun Fat and his wife took him into their home. But silly Indian Horse ventured outside that protective sphere, and there are limits to Choy Yun Fat's philanthropy; he can't be expected to follow you around with a protective umbrella.
I feel like I'm trapped under ice, needing to come up for air.
