PLANETARIUM

Watchable. Very slow, contemplative, with several overlong scenes. A number of viewers walked out, which doesn't surprise me. I stayed mostly for the few clever observations. E.g. people imagine that the ghosts who come are the people they loved while in reality (so to say) they're those who cared about us unrequitedly, those who haven't finished with us. Or that someone is dying not because of a gift but rather they have the gift because they're dying. Or how, in uncertain times, it's foreigners who are trusted the least. Or how lots of people chase ghosts this way or another, instead of just living real lives.
