I don’t want to show blood. I don’t want a line of dialogue to be fully understood, nor the story to be coherent. But I do want you to feel a dryness in your throat. I want the film to leave you wondering whether it was real or not, whether the decor was made of wood or cardboard, whether it was funny or bitter.
