Quotes

Eli: "In the effort to explain sexual aberrations, Freud introduced two terms, sexual object and sexual aim."

A romanticcomedic imperfect film about unlikely partners in NYC. Great reminiscent city location shots.
21 August 2001 | by (New York, NY) – See all my reviews

If you want to see poetry in motion, STUDY the sequences of Michael Marogtta and his pigeon. An UNFORGETTABLE piece of filmography is about an hour into the film--it lasts under a minute...not a word is spoken...only the music which gives the film its name is heard while Margotta, Frances Fisher and a trained New York City pigeon struggle, dance and eventually part under magic hour light; in front of The Pierre Hotel on 5th Avenue. Breath-taking.
