  Silk

  • 08 Nov 2007

  It's possible to make a film about very little… the veteran French filmmaker Eric Rohmer has fashioned a wonderful career out of examining romantic ardors that are rarely consummated, and sometimes barely articulated.

Walk The Line, Ray, Last Days and the upcoming release of I'm Not There bear testament to this, apart from I'm Not There, for in fact Bob Dylan, unlike Johnny Cash, Ray Charles and Kurt Cobain, is still alive and kicking.
