Every Day a Little Death by Stephen Sondheim

(0 Ratings)

Track

"I was a student at N.Y.U. in the ’90s. It was the first semester of a musical theater class, and one of the students got up and sang “Every Day a Little Death.” It was dark outside and snowing, and I remember hearing the song and thinking, “What is this?” It’s such a simple series of tiny moments that make up a day, that seem to be completely pragmatic descriptions of everyday life, played against the unbelievable torrent of sweeping emotion underneath in the music. And that is such a classic skill of Steve’s, where lyric plays against music, and the two things together, in the ear of the listener, tell you the whole story."

After.Life is one of those curious movies with A-list talent but B-list distribution
After.Life is one of those curious movies with A-list talent but B-list distribution.
After.Life. It has an intriguing premise that explores the nature of life and death with a refined eye that eschews much of the gratuitous content that so often stigmatizes horror movies (granted, Ricci appears nude or semi-nude for most of the film, which I am not complaining about). But the journey from concept to reality is a long one, and After.Life loses its way, becoming increasingly muddled, lethargic and annoying as it plays out.
But still worth watching.

Movie Favorite

"Well I always have a hard time with this. As we get older or grow or whatever, it’s always changing, because you just see more movies, for one thing, so you change. One of my most favorite movies, I think a perennial favorite movie of mine is La Ronde. I don’t know how well acquainted you are with it. It’s one of my favorite movies. Anton Walbrook is one of the stars, who also the stars of another one of my favorite movies, The Life and Death of Colonel Blimp. He’s the guy who’s that German who has the seven-minute monologue with the moving camera that never cuts, and he breaks down during it."

This novel has multiple protagonists as well as multiple perspectives, but I think the most memorable characters are Marianne and Samantha. After Greg’s death, Marianne is trying her best to carry on living, she has a new boyfriend, but nothing will fill the void, especially when she finds out, that she is on assassin’s hit list. Why? That is what she wants to find out. Samantha is a very mysterious character, her whole life story slowly unravels throughout the pages, and it is a sinister story, where a person can be easily manipulated like a poppet. All the characters bring something to the story, making it a very twisty read, and I loved it.
