Glad you liked it, though I will mention for others that it does involve self-harm, as that may be relevant information, but it is necessary to the story, and it did win an Academy Award for what it's worth, which I think was probably deserved, though I didn't see any of the other also-rans.
Thanks for having the courage to post under your real name, also, as you mentioned in another thread of yours I was reading. It's been a growth experience for me as well.
It probably didn't trend, because it's in Dutch.
For myself, I have no issue with subtitled films, but a lot of my countrymen are not comfortable with it.
The main issues that I have with foreign (to me) films, is the cultural frame can be odd. That also happens with British and Australian stuff.

For me, that is the magic of film, but I wonder if reality recedes as we approach, via biases, oversights, and the key design 'flaw as feature' of the camera, that it only captures what has already been framed.
