that took me to a new level in my exploration of cinema and my pursuit of Criterion releases.
I didn't see BB as petulant and high-maintenance. It seemed like it should have (or at least could have) been fairly easy (or at least simple) for her hubby to keep her happy. A little more communication (and acknowledgment of her) on his part and he'd have had a happy wife but then there would have been no story."You can safely assume you have created God in your own image when he hates all the same people you do."
