Snow Patrol!
What is it about the weekend that makes me so blog-lazy? I've been lost in music today, as the snow accumulates and slowly buries our fair city. I am NOT in Boston - poor Erik was obliged to postpone his 50th Birthday Bash (sob).
I finished "Before Sunrise" this morning, after sunrise, and found it very captivating for a movie that is essentially a 24 hour conversation, sealed with a kiss. Boy meets girl, boy talks girl off train, boy and girl exchange impressions and insights as the hormonal current flows beneath the surface. Ethan Hawke and French actress Julie Delpy(pictured below) bring depth and nuance to their strangers on a train, the dialogue is sharp, the minor players are colorful, and Vienna charms with its Italianate strudel of relaxed old-world rococo.... Next week I'll watch the equally-admired sequel, "Before Sunset"....
