"This is literary kismet, with screenwriter Truman Capote channeling Henry James—and with a child lead bearing the name of my own daughter, Flora. The story, which takes full measure of the spookiness and unknowability of children, has worked in every format—first James’s novella The Turn of the Screw, then the chamber opera of the same name, and finally this liminal black-and-white film."

"Why didn’t you marry?” I’ve often been asked. Maybe it’s because my father took me to see Ingmar Bergman’s Scenes from a Marriage, three hours long, when I was fourteen years old. So this is what adults talk about when children are out of the room! Little did I know that most searing breakups do not include lovers who are this articulate, this prescient."
