“Its refusal to behave is the point.”
The strange choices create the kind of friction that follows you out of the theatre and into the argument.

Put EVANGELION: DEATH (TRUE)² on trial.
Two incompatible taste archetypes. One film. Read the arguments, then issue a completely binding cultural ruling.
