“The occasion of the first meeting between playwright and player is now, in our fanciful telling, a matter of theatrical lore and legend.”

I feel like my heart is getting broken…my own, personal heart, every night

The text and subtext of Conrad being gay and living his life through his art and Schubert being possibly bisexual and living through his art in a fantasy world and Jones being gay and having his heart broken every single night on stage which ultimately leads to his heart being broken in reality at Conrad’s death, there’s something about being an artist and being consumed by your work but also simultaneously about having a life where you’re too scared of the repercussions of what you want. The parts of the movie in color as the play itself and then the black and white as the context and textual subtext behind a queer reading of the narrative.
