Destroy Yourselves, 1969

You can also find this review on Letterboxd

I can't even rate this. It's trying to be different, trying to be something you never see. And it succeeds.

It feels very weird and the main character feels, to be honest, quite annoying. I feel this movie is shot backwards, so we start at the end and end at the beginning. But I'm not sure.

I'm not sure about anything in this movie.

This is not a movie for enjoyment. There isn't anything that makes this movie very good, except maybe that it is daring enough to be more than just different. I'm sure every scene in this movie means something, even if it is just a woman staring into the camera for 2 minutes. And for sure that the movie is ending in a boxing match. I just have no idea what.

I don't know anything about the french revolution in May that this movie preceded by one month, being shot completely in April. So I bet there are many things I didn't understand because I didn't understand anything about it's history.

I'm not rating this. It is an interesting watch while also quite boring at some times. If what I wrote seems interesting, you should give it a try.
