As much as I loved the material look of the film- and the b&w quality is hugely appealing - I found the way that the film developed into a black weirdness, essentially uncaptivating. I got slightly bored with my effort to understand the dialogue. It ended up becoming some weird fantasy/allegory/metaphor for things I became disinterested in. Virtuosi acting performances from both and incredible cinematography but towards the end I couldn’t wait for it to finish.
