"-- and the way the mind refuses to age along with it..." Ouch, and well put. That's the bittersweet taste of aging, all right.
Im amazed at the letters for your two other reviews today. Did they forget to read this one? Maybe if they did they wouldn't accuse you of hating movies.
The Ginsberg poem, and now this movie, can join Love in the Time of Cholera in the back of my mind to remind me to appreciate my youth while I have it.
Thank you. I will do everything possible to see this film. I'm a student and lover of humankind as well as a straight granny. This is the quality of film I long for. Hopefully it will be made available to a wider starving audience.
Wouldn't be nice if the bodies of aging women, in film and real life, could produce such a reverential and respected description? Sometimes, I would guess always actually, there is beauty and sexuality to be found even in the aging.
Apparently "hustler" equals "male prostitute."
At least, that's what I was able to glean from the first few paragraphs of this article.
Glad to be able to delete all the other possible definitions of "hustler" from my consciousness. Arbitrary redefinitions of common words are such a time-saver.
But is Batman in it?
I've heard/read "hustler" used that way before, many times. It's one of those words that has multiple meanings.
