May
May è una giovane e strana ragazza che ha avuto un'infanzia molto difficile e che non conosce il significato dell'amicizia e dell'amore. Lavora in una clinica per animali e vive da sola con la sua unica vera "amica", una bambola che la madre gli regalò quando era ancora piccola. Quando ancora una volta i tentativi di conquistare l'uomo dei suoi sogni andranno falliti, deciderà di costruirselo da sola l'uomo perfetto, usando le parti delle sue vittime.

“you can’t see me.”
this feels like the complete inverse of jeunet’s amélie. both films follow a young woman with crippling loneliness as she desperately strives to reach out and make a genuine connection. amélie fills me with so much hope and warmth, and this left me so heartbroken; the final ten minutes of the film really feel like a macabre breaking point for both may and the audience emotionally and psychologically. i love how it takes inspiration from the picture of dorian gray and frankenstein to stitch together a tale of isolation that carries itself with a strong audiovisual style, from the soundtrack choices to the idiosyncrasies in may’s wardrobe and entire persona.
people say they like weird until a real freak comes along and then they run off scared.
