Where to Watch Gips
- Danish01hace 2 dDomination, obedience, pity, control, and obsession: is this love? Or just a distraction to keep life "interesting"? By cultivating sympathy through artificial, performative, and manipulative tactics these characters play with their own emotions in a game of "push+pull." Tonally interesting music, Y2K-Japan cityscapes/fashion, strong "medical fetish" imagery, unconventional relationships, some dry humor, hypnotizingly lingering shots, a gentle atmosphere that masks a boiling desire under the surface. The central conflict is not between the characters but rather within themselves and "outsourced" onto others so as to complement each other (1+1=1?). The lies we tell ourselves become our reality.
