The obviousness of this fact is astoundingly silly at times.

But I’m more inclined to put it with Whatever Happened to Baby Jane? – for the unexpected horror to be found in old cinema; Todd Haynes’ Douglas Sirk infection, Far From Heaven, where homosexuality is regarded with as much fear almost as Rhoda here; or maybe Paul Schrader’s Auto-Focus. Unorthodox suggestions, maybe, but that’s just what came to mind while watching. I guess I’m a little hooked on the image of a sinister worm eating away at the idealistic decade.
