went in expecting another bright, beautiful, romantic musical from demy and stylistically i guess that's exactly what this is but instead in ironic service of a very bleak and angry film about the bloody massacre of the working class and any hope of personal connection within a system founded on it.
yea if my name was violette id also only wear purple
