Lignes de fuite (2022)

All The Weirdness of John Waters Without ANY Meaning OR Humor

[1/10 · 4 July 2023]

Thank God I came in part way through so I don't have more of my life to regret never getting back. SPOILER ALERT! These "lifelong friends" who regularly get together decide to completely destroy each others lives by revealing things that were told to them in confidence. One is informed that she actually has no interest in having a child with her partner. In fact, she feels like she's settled. Yes, HE hears all of this. Other horrible things are revealed, and then we have whatever the opposite of foreshadowing is. A massive hailstorm literally smashes the windows and skylights in the very expensive apartment where they're gathered. Oh, by the way. Did I mention that one woman, while this is going on, goes to check on her baby and finds that the baby is dead. Yes, DEAD! The baby apparently choked on something in the crib. One would think that this would be the most shocking thing that could happen at a gathering and would cause everyone present to stop focussing on anything else. One would be wrong. Because, as we know, some social problems simply take priority over a dead baby. Ummm. Yeah. WTF?!
