WTF!
I wished I was Jon Voigt's stunt double during that scene.
hee.
what a movie that is. LOVE IT.
Have been reading parts of her memoir My Life So Far for my Christie/Redgrave piece. Not a prepossessing writer, really, but it's a compulsively readable book.
Great movie - I finally got to see it three years ago at a friend's house.
There's a lot I could say about the film (that love scene is one of the most amazing I've ever seen, in part because of it's matter-of-factness, in part because of the chemistry of the two leads, of course) but I'll go for the superficial angle here. I loved it when the husband (Bruce Dern) asks "What did you do to your hair?" "I stopped straightening it."
Given that I'm naturally curly haired, I cringe every time I see a movie (hello, Princess Diaries) of the last decade or so in which there is a "makeover" scene that, the film implies, transforms the girl/woman to take her rightful place on life's stage - and invariably involves straightening her hair.
