Bay of Angels (1963)


Never has there been a more funny, stylish and frustrating cinematic depiction of "that couple". You know the ones. The co-dependent ones who will dance forever on the edge of oblivion yet somehow never fall in? There are probably a couple of them in your life. When things are good they are great. When things are bad they are the worst. And it can switch back and forth numerous times within the span of a minute. Continually chasing the highs despite the lows. Love junkies, if you will. I bet if you showed them this film they would be all, "Oh my God what's wrong with these people?" It's kind of hard to see the forest for the trees, especially when good luck is surely waiting just around the corner...
