Well, certainly for “older women” in their 50s, but even more so for myself in my mid 70s. Still not an older woman. That might come in my 90s. All this still rings true. Desire is not diminished.
This was an outstanding contextualization. I saw the movie, and my thinking about it is helped by your piece. I am writing a book where my super-conventional fifty-something character has to lose her preconceptions about sex at her age and you've helped me organize my thinking.
I saw this (alone! In the privacy of my bedroom!😅) per your rec, and it is certainly a complex and thought-provoking film. It doesn't fit into tidy boxes like "feel-good!" or "HEA!" and I appreciate your sharp analysis of why us humans can rebel so much against some of the desires and choices expressed in this film. Honestly, I didn't *totally* love it, but I did appreciate how it made me question WHY I felt the way I did. Great discussion-starter, Sam!
Wow! What a review! I agree with all you've said here. Shame was definitely a key theme in the movie and I love that they went there. Thank you for this extremely detailed review.
