You can think of other sections of culture film has failed to capture. The sheer duration of labour, for example, has very few examples. Canals cut by hand for months or years on end is something that can be very well intimated, but it's true monotony not captured
I have come around on the idea that people doing very simple and common things, particularly looking and especially talking, just provides a *lot* more visual interest than you'd think. Phones are rare in films just as long sequences of reading books are, they're not cinematic!
You know that culture is dead because no one successfully reckons with phones in film and literature. Itโs like having westerns without the railroad. Phones and phone culture should be what 90% of movies and books are about.
And besides, we don't live in a culture of made up for slabs of plastic and colours. It still is a world fundamentally of people in the world. You can capture what the world is right now without ever employing a phone or some Meta glasses, it might even be misleading to do so
Doing That with Scotland and Wales and the Balkan Peninsula but being like "No. Belgian culture is too distinct from either France or Germany to dissolve it."
One interesting thing with Backrooms/Obsession is that the music video director to feature film director is pipeline is pretty much dead in the water (tho it was on its last legs anyways)
