On Film

Oh that time in your life when you’re forming your foundational belief systems and structures for interacting with the world. Ages 19–23 let’s say. In my time, in addition to the books, music, booze, girls, and friends you’d lay on the tracks for, there was also film. And the films that stuck with me, the ones that touched my soul and shook my sensibilities, I owe them a lot.
