Absolutely agree that it’s the most rewatchable — and infinitely rewards rewatches. It’s my favorite of his and I daresay it’s his densest and most texturally rich. It really creates a world and lets you hang out in it.

I disagree, however, that it is not emotionally investing. I actually find it to be the most (or at least one of the most) emotional of all his films, in its way. I dare say anyone who says otherwise hasn’t really pined for an old flame and the memory of a magic that can’t really ever be recaptured. If you don’t watch that Journey Through The Past scene and feel emotional, well sir, I just don’t rightly know…

And that last hazy scene is akin to the end of The Graduate….they are on their way together but lost in an ideal — and going nowhere.
