Image still from "Play It As It Lays", a film that is just chock full of California ennui, the most silly form of ennui, Sontag aside. No really, see it (if you can find it). The editing is truly striking, and has yet to be effectively bitten by contemporary film (what do we call it now that it's done on a macbook pro?) editing.
