A surprising update of the change-of-identity theme. The most wonderful part is how the director uses different kinds of visual and verbal ripostes to weave such a touching narrative. Those repetitions always ring a clear bell in our hearts.
“That morning I wept. I wept because I loved the streets that took me away from Henry... and would lead me back to him. I wept because from now on I would weep less. I wept because I had lost my pain, that I was not yet accustomed to its absence.”
An outdated view on sexuality as well as a shallow understanding of Henry Miller the person & his work. Why can't they make G&L scenes less pretentious?
