An undine is a water nymph who lives for love.
You said you love me.
If you leave me, Ill have to kill you.
Its not clear if were supposed to take her literally, either.
There isnt anything obviously otherworldly about Undine in her introduction.
The only thing tying her life to the creature thats her namesake is the heartbreak shes experiencing.
It feels like a fist that wont close, its elements never intentionally coming together.
The film trembles right on the edge of allegory, but Undine never confirms her own liminal nature.
The human world above, for all its messiness, is warm and alive.
