There's something disquieting about this concentrated glimpse of urban life. "Movie" is saying a lot in disarmingly simple terms: a quiet subject infused with an uncanny disaffection. The picture is a great accomplishment, both in its austerity and its eloquence.
Wish I could be standing in front of this 75" theatre. Choosing to put this story on such a large scale reinforces the actual experience of being there; had it been on the small size the message would have come over as a whisper ... like watching a movie on your phone instead of a big flat screen. Tell me why the fellow in the film looks afraid? Revolted? Certainly not happy to have the woman on top? Sometimes I don't know if you're inserting one of your private amusements or if the scene is just what it is at first look. Part of the fun of knowing your penchants. - Christine
