Old Joy ****
Two friends whose lives have gone different ways meet up to drive into the hills and spend a night getting drunk. It is what isn't said in this film that generates the real power, I found myself wondering all sorts of things. A beautiful original soundtrack provided by Yo La Tengo really helped to gently remove me from my comfortable seat and lead me off to all sorts of slightly melancholic "what if" places.
"Sorrow is just worn-out joy".

You've got me all curious about this film now.
What is it that they didn't say?
Just about everything.
ps The universe consists of everything said in this film and everything else.
