It’s not all a trauma response. Cindy’s also kind of one of those people that like… needs to make their bed as soon as they wake up–it’s not purely about reducing the squalor of her conditions, it’s also like, a ‘mapping out your day in your head’ sort of thing, and also it’s just… nicer getting into a made bed when you’re all exhausted.
A fantastic movie, one of the craziest i’ve ever seen, even though the premise is about a woman who is dissatisfied with her life, including her husband and daughter. It reminds me, in different ways, of the movies The Adventures of Baron Munchausen, and Holy Motors, the last episode of the Star Trek: The Next Generation, and even a martial arts movie or John Wick.
“it’s a magical night at the carnival fair / in a tent o’erflowing with mysterious air / awaiting a psychic in a rickety chair / sits a worried young man with mousy brown hair”
