. . . said the reviewer for The New York Times. Humph.
About which film, you ask? Well, Three Times, directed by Hsiao-hsien Hou (q.v.).
Whatever else the film may be, it's a certain downer for Valentine's Day. The three stories are sort of about love, but only the first one carrries any deep romantic feeling--and that is almost entirely nostalgic.
The playlist, on the other hand, was a great success! After getting the preliminary Dylan, Clapton, and Beatles out of the way, Amanda started gasping, "Oh, I love this song!" and dancing around the kitchen as we prepared our magnificent meal. Because our attempt with the film took some time (we had already watched the first story, and we thought stories two and three might turn out better), we didn't get through the entire playlist, but that was all right.
Next up, planning for Amanda's birthday . . . one week from today!
Wish me luck . . . and mop those floors, fellas! I'm tellin' ya!
