Video of the day

In honor of the week-long run of In the City of Sylvia, here's a clip from one of the best scenes in the film, courtesy of online film critic extraordinaire, President and Founder of Benten Films, and Notebook contributor Andrew "Filmbrain" Grant.  (Original post can be found here.)  Aside from general sexiness and melancholy, it is a remarkable study on how an expressive use of duration and discontinuous editing can transform cinematic clichés like desire, voyeurism, fantasy, and representation.
