1966

1966 and lovely, I'd give my feet and toes to have been alive for the premiere. I watched this movie for the first time a few months ago, when summer was just beginning, and I will never forget the blur of yellows and reds in that little living room in Idaho, sitting with a heap of pillows and two new friends (a man and a woman, in fact), sleepy eyes scanning subtitles to a language I wish I had learned while still in school (I suppose there's still time), and falling in love with this woman's face (I still don't know her name, and I'd be a failure at pronouncing it, anyhow).
