I can't believe how few threads there are on this board. I haven't seen much, but I am curious how people rate his work.

I hadn't thought of it that way, I suppose it makes sense since the girl and the woman really seemed to click immediately. I guess I missed the part where it's revealed her father raised her. The part about the girl having a promiscuous mother seemed significant to me, doubly so if I think about it with your interpretation in mind.

Good points.
I thought of it in terms of the woman's lack of freedom in her day to day life; she was dominated by other people, even including her female friend based on the opening scene. So she turns to fiction and becomes a writer so that she can create a world that she has control of. However, even this isn't eno5b4ugh and her lack of control in her own life causes her to gradually retreat from reality.
Mostly I focused on the atmosphere though. I'm glad you asked me about my interpretation, further thought on this helped crystallize my understanding of the film and deepens my appreciation for it.

Nice screenshot.
It's true that she was in her own world from minute one but she was less able to hide this as the film went on and it grew more severe as well.
Let me know if anything really interesting comes up in the commentary.

First three are interesting.
I don't get how the girl's father could be dead unless that entire sequence where she takes the girl home is a fantasy. Strange twist if so.

I'd love to see some of those on a big screen. I agree with you on most of those, main exceptions being The Player which I'd rank higher and McCabe which I disliked.
