It Ends

There are questions beating at the heart of It Ends, which extend into the totality of the crew's vision. As Deleuze and Guattari note in their landmark book Anti-Oedipus: Capitalism and Schizophrenia, our bodies without organs are desiring machines that reproduce the wants and needs intrinsic to our systems. So it is within those context that we question, what is it exactly we want?

Do we want another burger? Will boogie get the sip?

The movie is less interested in the answers to these questions as the articulation of the feeling these postulates create. This is a creative struggle that has been featured in earlier films, most notably "David" but it's explored here in a way that adds a lot to the corpus of work it comes from, while also charting a path towards new undiscovered possibilities.

A more risk-averse filmmaker would have made a less creative film, but that's not what happened here. Great cinema.
