Sometimes, you just have to indulge in something sweet, slow and maudlin.
The joy of the cinema is that it can, indeed, make you feel everything, anything and nothing at all; it has the power to compel, repel and attract. It always moves those prepared to me moved, without fail. It is cathartic therapy for those who cannot afford it – it is in this way that film has replaced the church for many of us. Simple pure light shining through plastic strips… Amazing.
(And if it features Johnny Depp as photographed by Sven Nykvist, two basic scopophilic delights and addictions, so more the better.)
