@Apocryphiliac I hear you on resonant re-watches! I recently thought of that film when watching Paul Schrader's The Card Counter, which also has a powerful sense of inevitability to it, leading to a closing scene at a prison in which all hope of something else somehow emerging from all the loss and carnage has now been pinned. It's something more than an ambivalent ending, but *far* less than full transformation and healing. I love the strange liminality of that final note in both of them.
