I always show this to students and friends and anybody who passes my door. Everybody always gets a big kick out of it (study the editing — it must have been cut by somebody who WASN’T LOOKING).
And yet, when I say to them “Someday I would like to make a film as good as this,” they look at me in a strange way.

Interesting theory. But if she’s the secret lesbian lover, she’s not doing a very good job of concealing it!
