rewatched after last watching in middle school. bjork's character says "nothing dreadful ever happens in a musical" – but dreadful things happen to selma, but through the musical numbers somehow it all feels so ecstatic and triumphant in the end credits
my favorite movie. i love the part where karamakate describes the cohiuano initiation: "To become warriors, the cohiuanos must abandon all and go alone to the jungle, guided only by their dreams... He must become a vagabond of dreams."
