Afterglow


Rating = B

Once again the topic is that everyone needs and seeks love (but the seeking is not always so effectively done by these characters).

Julie Christie is not as luminous as she once was and as the reviews of Afterglow suggest, but she has certainly aged beautifully. Wow!

I saw Woody Allen's Husbands and Wives on cable the same day that I saw Afterglow, and they were on essentially the same topic. This made me see how Woody'esque the Afterglow story and characters are, but not as fully realized as they would have been had Woody directed Afterglow.
