--This is just so cinematographic to read. I really feel as if I've seen the scene.

Thank you! The film overall has that low-lit style where people get nice shadows just to have a conversation, but Dave in the phone booth is the most noir shot in the entire picture and the sequence that frames it is gorgeous, aside from the fact that I was deeply invested in him not dying, dammit.

Makes me wonder how many other films make use of that: death--or near death--finding you in a clear box, coffin sized, but vertical.

"In my glass coffin, I am waiting . . ."

What a wonderful, freezing image. If other films don't make use of it, you should.

(I have not seen Diva and I am not sure you have spoken much of it to me before, but I will look out for it.)

--if there's not, there ought to be.

We can always found one.
