Is Soon

1.) somewhere between here and here again

2.) sooner or later and later is soon enough

3.) a sad story on how we became two lonely creatures

David Lynch

Perhaps surprise is not on the menu of today's moviegoers.

They want reassurance, domestic fairy tales come true, not the astonishment that Jean Cocteau demanded of art.

So all hail the American fringies, those filmmakers who make something different out of next to nothing.
