    Sometimes it’s hard to laugh at yourself, so I’d love to see a cut of this with a laugh track. Like Mickey, it’s ok to evolve and become someone else … but without the help of ethically questionable technology. 🤣

    ★★★★

    One of the many nightmares of life: When you can afford for your life to be a mess, there are no rules, so you make up ways to self-destruct. …. I’m in love with the texture of this film. … The Victor segment is pure magic.

    Ok, wow. Put this Bernard Wegner on your radar. The wit and hubris of this film is coupled with layered themes that engage with our complex contemporary world in such a fresh way. It’s the coming of age tale of a sad, perfect man.

    ★★★★★

    Dialogue to envy. Camera placement, framing, movement, light, shadows, and focus that help tell the story. Quirky, likeable, flawed, almost-sympathetic, selfish, doomed characters. And small perfect moments like when Rita calls Sydney “eyelashes.” And remember when screenwriters didn’t explain everything to you? The little mysteries are the best parts, and SSoS is full of them.

    Watched on TCM.
