Two for the Road

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 …

… This might be just as good, as ephochal even, in rendering the way we recollect that world, especially when in crisis.

#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!
