Let the Right One In
- Commentary: This is one of those movies that I've seen many times since it came out, but never in the theater, always on some TV channel that's running it, often Amazon, although not exclusively. It beguiles me. I never get tired of the story, of its characters, of its look, of the way it was produced. I guess you could say it's one of my all time favorites.
My mother was still alive when it came out, a few months before she died. Since it was released at that time on TV, she saw it, and what I remember of her reaction was that she was intrigued by it and didn't connect it with being about vampires. She thought it was about two children in a compromising situation who were trying to figure their way out of it. Frankly, that's a pretty good description of it.
More later.
Under construction.
