We wake, if we ever wake at all, to mystery, rumors of death, beauty, violence... "Seem like we're just set down here," a woman said to me recently, "and don't nobody know why." These are morning matters, pictures you dream as the final wave heaves you up on the sand to the bright light and drying air.

Murphy's Romance (1985), dir. Martin Ritt

[metaphysicsinwater]

I'm a sucker for May-December love stories with realistic characters and good dialogue. (It's a plus that this movie has both a "durable, steady, and faithful" man and a badass woman as its main characters.)
