The original enemy thread ruled because there was a guy legit arguing that it was a movie about an alien spider invasion.

I should really do a complete Villenueve rewatch sometime soon, there's just only so many places you can go if you're craving that kind of visual style.

Make sure to start from the beginning. I need more people with thoughts about 32 Août sur Terre.

It's more like a representation of how trapped he feels by his monotonous life with his girlfriend. Which may not be all that much of a distinction but there's also that gigantic city-sized spider that to me implies that it's more about the totality of his circumstances in life that are making him feel trapped, not necessarily as specific to women as a lot of other readings of the film seem to argue for. He's also a school teacher, which certainly isn't as exciting and glamorous as what he's got going on in the other life.

If I'm remembering correctly, the city-sized spider happens right after his conversation with his mother. It looks a hell of a lot like this spider statue, named "Maman."
