eureka is everything. it is the scars from the past, the connections, new relationships we make, that help each other, our differing responses to tragedy, how we process grief. it is the process of picking up and moving on after the event of a irreversible catastrophe, in its length, pain and beauty. our collective trauma can help us heal from this, the people who share our pain can cure us from everything we feel, from the numbness to the rage. there is and will always be a light at the end of the tunnel, no matter how hopeless you feel, how painful the situation is, shreds of hope lie there. we can recover.

i feel everything here. every emotion and character. their anger, guilt, hopelessness, pain they endure, temptations to give in to. it feels like a cold embrace, a film that wraps you up and never lets go, yet icy, tight. it is almost too much: the emotions, feelings, sometimes too suffocating. and while it is dense, with many topics covered in its slow and long runtime, at its core, it's a story of survival and recovery expressed with empathy and sincerity. it is a crushingly emotional sepia typhoon of grief and trauma, painful and hopeful, melancholic. all it is, is a cycle of life and death.

i don't think i'll ever be able to properly express my love for this beautiful film formally and do a good job at it, words become a barrier for my true feelings, and that is the sheer power eureka holds over me, moving me way beyond the confines of letters and symbols. all i know is this is and always will be incredibly important to me, a vital part of my moviegoing journey, and that it is indescribably and insurmountably perfect. it may as well be the greatest film i've ever seen.
