Lapvona

Sukkubus by way of A24, with a subtle hint of Oedipus Rex. Nowhere nearly as disgusting as many seem to have agreed upon, but then again I just have such a high tolerance that even French New Extreme cinema won't get me to flinch. Now sure there are moments where I can see why the less desensitised could shiver—grape suppository, cannibalism, elderly nursing, etc.—on a whole it's all what one would expect of a medieval setting. I've quickly become a huge fan of Mosfegh, but by the time I got to the underwhelming third act of Lapvona, I began ti worry I'll never reach the same enamored high of My Year of Rest and Relaxation, again.
