Film Review
2024
The Banshees of Inisherin
this got a bit too topical.
it’s not the best feeling when you realise you have been in the shoes of the both asshole protagonists. i have been the one who abruptly ended friendships, and i’ve been on the end of continuously nagging someone that they told me to fuck off. and mind you, i deserved the latter every single time it happened.
retrospective # this isn’t a film review as much it’s an retrospective of my own relationships with people.

film starts with For all fathers, wherever they are. something tells me maybe im not ready for this one guys she’s literally me fuck, i can’t be a doctor like that a man obsessed with his work oblivious to the treasure he has in his life in the form of his daughter and wife. this is actually so great, with the way the whole background story is being set-up through a montage over a melancholic song.

oh he combs so much, im uncomfortable. few moments later scares the kid with unkempt hair and dracula snare lol i absolutely love the fact that even the songs are subtitled 🥹, and what a lovely song. the lyrics man. at this point im sure it’s just hindi songs which have shitty lyrics bengalis and their attics. i am in love with this aesthetic and im almost on the verge of having nostalgia for something i never experienced myself it snows in Kolkata (and electric guitar plays, just why and how this film’s soundtrack is so good lol) Raktim or রক্তিম, the word for red, the red of the blood, name for someone who longs for it.
