a little mellower than usual here. I really like his music but sometimes it hits you over the head, not in this movie, it is more subtle and beautiful, fitting the pace and timing nicely.
Womans work is a good way to put it...
a fun movie to watch I thought

I don't care for Glass' music ala carte, but it works in movies.

Sometimes it takes a film like this to show you how macho most cinema is.
The only male roles of note are the husband who is a minor character generally there to react to Sheba, even though played by a great actor, and the teacher who also falls for her and he is not exactly a glowing example of the male-ness, is he?????
The intensity of this film reminds me things such as Who's Afraid Of Virginia Wolf?.
Interestingly, the book is called What Was She Thinking with Notes On A Scandal as a sub-title, leaving the main title equally applicable to both the Sheba and Barbara characters.
In the film there is a reference to bus conductors, but I don't think London buses have had conductors for decades, have they?
