Saw #TwofortheRoad. Lots o’ tricksy editing. Lots of fashion & formalism, but also full of deepest feeling …
… Much, much more than merely stylish, or formalistic.
#TwofortheRoad. Its elaborate back & forth structure is kinda descended from the Soviets. V.I. Pudovkin (1949) said …
… that montage is analogous to how our eyes & ears apprehend the world, & its multiple, dizzying stimuli …

#TwofortheRoad reminds me of Vincente Minnelli’s great Some Came Running (1958). Sex-obsessed, some might say …
… Or, maybe an incalculably important subject that, if you judge by Classic H-wood, say, between 1934 & 1953 …
… didn’t hardly exist! Sometimes frankness is not remotely equal to crassness.
#TwofortheRoad. I am not the biggest A. Hepburn fan. Here she is quite utterly incandescent, & quite heartbreaking!
