Only then did I realize that the lens in the literary film rarely pushes and pulls, but moves a lot.

There's really still some sense of homage to the master movies, because it's still unintelligible to me. I didn't understand Eric Rohmer's "Women Who Collected Men," and so did this "Margot at a Wedding."
The very hand-held shooting technique, using entirely natural light, made some images too dark and blurry to see. Nicole is still a little too beautiful, and the wrinkles on her face add a little realism. The dialogue language of the film is still easy to understand, but everyone is a little neurotic when they speak. The family was so unusual, the neighbors were so unusual, and everyone was so crazy and rude.
I am incoherent myself.

Margot at the Wedding quotes

  • Pauline: I think Becky got it the worst.

    Margot: Did she ever. Raped by the horse trainer.

    [they burst out laughing]

  • Margot: I thought he was a musician.

    Pauline: Well, music's officially a hobby. He's painting now, and writing letters to newspapers and magazines. He's very meticulous. He'll spend up to a week writing a response to a music review. He's incredibly smart. Maybe too smart, I don't know. We're doing very well.
