Walked all around Brooklyn and stopped into BAM to see a Naruse film called, “Floating Clouds”. It was odd, in that it seemed like the negative space of a film… in that maybe what we were watching wasn’t the movie, but the events that might happen outside of some other movie maybe playing in another theater somewhere in the building… It was like the opposite of a movie and then later we watched “Shop Girl” on DVD and you could see how maybe Naruse got it more right, even if it was sort of tough going at times. Any ways, they seemed like a kind of perfect accidental double feature of love gone wrong.
