I saw this film in 1991, and I've been meaning to track down a copy ever since. I don't know, is it the self-indulgent protagonist I identify with? For me, I was touched by most of this film, because I feel that the power of music is both a symbol and a seducer; this is something I've 'known' in my own life. I'd really want to see this again because I can't remember if this is really what the film is as luscious and about what I think. It couldn't be further away from the type of music appreciation in Nick Hornby's "High Fidelity" with its autistic obsession for compiling and list-making.
Instead it is perhaps just as masturbatory in the sense that it can really only be enjoyed on your own.
