recommended for: james

why they might enjoy it:
james often talks about his love for film and cinema, so i wanted to recommend one of my favorites. it beautifully captures the duality of young adulthood through romance, poverty, abuse, comedy, and naturalism, all while feeling messy, raw, and strangely beautiful. the cinematography and soundtrack are also incredible, and i think james would really appreciate how authentic it feels.
