We Live
I'm not telling you to make the world better, because I don't think that progress is necessarily part of the package. I'm just telling you to live in it. Not just to endure it, not just to suffer it, not just to pass through it, but to live in it. To look at it. To try to get the picture. To live recklessly. To take chances. To make your own work and take pride in it. To seize the moment. And if you ask me why you should bother to do that, I could tell you that the grave's a fine and private place, but none I think do there embrace. Nor do they sing there, or write, or argue, or see the tidal bore on the Amazon, or touch their children. And that's what there is to do and get it while you can and good luck at it.

Desire/dimension: with those interrelated tropes you've really managed to flesh out an intense "version" of the film here.
ReplyDeleteWhat strikes me most is the move from VI to VII where you not only have rhyming compositions with the "three" women at the right edge, but the image in VII picks up the undulating shadows again from V, which are so wonderfully in tension with the sharp verticals and horizontals.
I also like how in II there's a strange sort of push-pull effect (to my eyes anyway) between the two shots you group together, even though the objects to her left that trigger the effect (in combination with the difference in "scale and scope") are not the same.
Thanks, RW, for the thoughtful read! I feel like you were really looking!
