Seconding, I caught it late one night on HBO when I was a bit too young to understand what was going on and follow the plot but the movie stayed with me for many years until some time ago where I rewatched it and came to really appreciate it.

It's the best movie of my life, I watch it about once a year (that's all I can bear to do), and I see the modern world reflected from it constantly. We're living in that universe right now.

Not quite, but it's getting there. You're braver than me. I didn't sleep for days.

There's just so many good scenes? And the long takes are truly art in every way.

Also, the bit where the kid is just scrolling / playing on his device while his dad yells at him is some kind of crazy fever dream from right now.

There is a pretty significant link between pollution and infertility:

Second this. I saw it in the theatre knowing nothing about it, am so glad I did. For one thing, the sound is fantastic -- it is perhaps the only movie I've ever seen where I noticed how great the sound was during the movie, how much it reinforced the sense of being present in the reality presented on the screen (I realize there is a bit of contradiction in saying that :).

A few years ago I noticed that I think about this movie that I randomly saw in 2006 (or whatever year it came out) at least once a week, if not more. Some real staying power.

Indeed. The café explosion.
