    Drink it!
    Art conjugates with self torture to burn down in orgasmic bliss. Shaji's last two films were wonderful and impressed with their poetic prose, but Swapaanam is even better and is like music in its art. You don't stop to reason, you just drink it. Characters and visuals feel like notes that congeal to form the symphony. Abandon the shackles of cognition and protective instincts and float around in a hallucinatory neurosis. Self destroy. There is no greater bliss, for artist or man. Shaji is dealing in expanses directors are scared of visualizing.

    Never seen a movie that is as close to music in its artistic perfection as this one.
