10 (1979)

A 42-year-old musician who has a long-term relationship with a singer more or less his age enters a midlife crisis and is smitten by a young woman whom he glimpses in a car.

This is my second viewing. An exceedingly intriguing movie, with hilarious moments of comedy and a dramatic structure which runs parallel to the comic bits. As I said, the film has a touch of mystery to it. For instance, is it a coincidence that Andrews wore a masculine haircut for her part and went on to play a woman playing a man playing a woman in a subsequent film with this same filmmaker?

Rating: 61 (unchanged)
