HE IS A DRAGON // он – дракон (2015)

The boy understood, that his father was a monster.
And that only awakened the monster in him. 

#the whole acknowledged monster-as-masculinity thing in this film #really did it for me #like…… really did it #dragon-fathers who burn up stolen women and exchange them as fuel for sons #young men grappling with their fathers being monsters toward their mothers #young het women navigating a world where their lovers have monsters for fathers #it was beautiful i fet like the top of my head was aflame with how good #and the dragon Armand was so beautiful and gentle and trying to be good even with that baggage #the female gaze so sharp framing him – always naked and exposed and vulnerable #i want to rewatch #he didnt want to be a dragon!!!! / @corseque
