last nights dream

i was at a cinema for the early screening of a movie.

it was about a girl called 'jia' who was in love with a guy called 'mang'. he was a very average-looking skinny dude, and she was quite pretty. her family didnt approve of the relationship or something, and people were always gossiping about them wherever they went, but they didnt care because they were happy together.

then something happens to mang (hes in an accident or something and dies unexpectedly).
jia is distraught and starts to lose her sanity. she meets a strange older woman who somehow knows things about her and hints that mangs death wasnt accidental. 
the two start working together to try and figure out what really happened to mang, and they uncover more and more suspicious things.
her family keep getting in the way, but youre not sure if they are part of it or if they are just concerned about her because of her clearly worsening mental health.
its hinted that the strange woman is actually jia herself from the future, or else some kind of psychological projection.

eventually the strange woman betrays her and her grief and paranoia get even worse. its basically implied that neither the strange woman OR mang ever really existed, that it was all in her head and thats why they always got strange looks when they were out in public together.

the clever thing is that the strange woman is actually there in the background of literally every scene even though you dont notice on your first viewing (i enjoyed the film so much i went back to rewatch it a second time)

it was live action, but in terms of theme and stylisation it reminded me a lot of satoshi kons work.

anyway, i wrote this all up when it was a lot clearer in my mind but spacehey went down LITERALLY as i was poasting it (grrrr) so this is a re-write and ive probably forgotten a lot of it by now.

great film though, even if it was just a dream.

note to self, when making a longish poast always copy it before pressing publish incase something happens
