Imagination is not something apart and hermetic not a way of leaving reality behind it is a way of engaging reality.
They seem much rarer now those auteur films that come out of a director's imagination and are elliptical and hermetic. All those films that got me into independent cinema when I was watching it seem thin on the ground.
Although we hardly see each other off the set Joy and I get along well when we do. As far as the marriage between Nathan and Haley I think they are young and will see the reality of the situation eventually.
