 Twitter Capsule: La vie en robes. Some scenes are sketches by design, others finished pieces. Supple with time, character, and color.

VOR: ④  Experiments with the biopic template much more successfully than, say, Steve Jobs, while evoking a much fuller sense of the character. Formally interesting.
