Russian Doll

★★★★☆  series

Russian Doll

A woman keeps dying and reawakening at the same party, and the loop discloses itself, in due course, as a matter of trauma rather than physics. Natasha Lyonne chain-smokes her way, with sardonic persistence, toward the unfamiliar condition of actually being alive.

what it left me with

You do not escape the loop by repairing yourself in solitude. You get out at the precise moment you consent, at long last, to let somebody else in.

this is one entry from a wandering list of films, books, shows and albums, kept by someone trying to live a slightly more deliberate life.
