"Att skiljas är att dö en smula."
-Swedish proverb
Hereditary did an excellent job of showing how it feels to lose a child in the moment. This movie explores what happens to a couples relationship after going through a major loss. and apparently what happens is an old man shows up with his gang of weirdos murder your wife and boop you on the penis groundhog day style.
the best thing i can say about this movie is i love how balls to the wall weird things get. the shadow puppet stuff is really fun, and the surreal circus gang is the perfect mix of whimsical and threatening.
but im not really sure what the metaphor there going for here is. or if there even is a metaphor. the cyclical nature of violence? a man struggling to cope with the randomness of his loss? im sure some other review has a total reasonable explanation to this whole thing im totally missing.
maybe the old man is summoned by piss.
what the fuck is happening here/10
