I couldn’t get through it; I gave up an hour in. I really really liked Days of Heaven, and the meditative, fragmented way he puts the story together is very similar, but I just could …
It took me a while to get accustomed to Morris’s style of putting the story together; I hadn’t seen one of his films in a while and I forgot that they aren’t as straight-ahead as …
