Saw Frank Borzage’s #TheRiver, or at least what’s left of it. Concludes w’ a miracle—flesh, & flesh as salvation—that’s positively impudent …

… As usual w’ this most sweetly sophisticated director, he gets away with it.

#TheRiver. Very moving, & w’ real-life implications that the more pinched & joyless among us ought to think about …

… Maybe we could do with a little more sexuality in the stories we subscribe to & approve of …
