Another seventies New Hollywood-blind spot filled in, but also a strangely moving, deeply human film that I just could not imagine being made today, even granting the massive changes in North American society over the last 50 years.

When Strangers Marry 1944
The recurring use of the Bureau of Missing Persons in old noirs really makes you wonder about the past.

You don’t have to like Christopher Nolan the way I do, but let’s just get something out of the way as people call each other “dumb” for not getting it or this movie “dumb” in its grand ambition: its not a matter of anyone or anything being dumb. Either you’re interested in the same ideas Nolan is (I.e. the varied impacts and aspects of living in time, and how cinema lets us play with it) or you’re not. Either is fine, but you’re not dumb for not liking it and the movie is not dumb because you’re uninterested. I for one am very interested.
