NP - Netflix "The Assassin"

[David Morris]

Just watched "Dust in the Wind."

It feels stream of consciousness, but with structure.  Sequential time is
big here, and overrides story. There is no continuous story.  It is like
Altman's "Short Cuts," but over a bigger time span, and with a Zen flow.

I  think HHH films should be watched repeatedly.  They are dense and
elusive.
