But I would have to disagree about the drawer scene.
Hadn't the film already gone completely silent?
Oh, I see how you could have that expectation, but I "knew" what she was doing.
That was the moment all the air was sucked out of the cinema.
The description of how hard it is sometimes to find solutions to major mistakes in life (and I am not sure any one of these is IT, although my feelings are that it has the emptiness of post-WW2 suburban life at its core - this my contradict any or all of what I have posted before) plus the pre-echo of the women's movement and the blandness of the stay at home wife's life, enjoyable only for short periods and not made perfect by children, is not just one of these 2 people's lives but of the whole of western society.
Hey, I could have posted that at Water Cooler and been called unAmerican!!!
