Sunday Papers: Woody Allen


“Part of the metaphor of the film [is] that once you get out in the night, there is a sense that civilization is gone.  All the stores are closed, everything is dark and it's a different feeling.  You start to realize that the city is just a superimposed man-made convention and the real thing that you’re living on is a planet. It’s a wild thing in nature. And all the civilization that protects you and enables you to lie to yourself about life is all man-made and superimposed.” 


On the turntable:  Bauhaus, "Burning from the Inside"
