...crowd gathers in front of the window of NO XS to watch a scene serenely out of place on this trendy stretch of street. More than a dozen people are seated inside, needles poised, as owner Michele Renee hosts one of her popular monthly knitting parties. Renee, who also attracts a crowd when she pulls out her just-like-the-fairy-tale spinning wheel, creates couture, hand-dyed yarn. Her knits are available in cotton to cashmere and include handmade sweaters, skirts, dresses, hats, scarves and quirky but useful knit accessories (cuffs that transform into a scarf for $95). Yarn...
...dresses are simple and elegant, draped in matte jersey and rich stretch velvet. Her casual separates range an affordable $69 to $89 and are snapped up quickly. When asked about her prices she quips, "I want to see [the clothes] on the girls, not on hangers." Since the shop window is close to the street, Vaughn gets to take lots of mental style notes. The East Village influence is found in the attention to detail, be it a faux fur collar, a tapestry print or a funky button. Each collection highlights the basic black to which she finds her customers...
Diane Sutton passed on that August night, and for days, customers left flowers outside Je's. To Harry, it feels as if she died yesterday. The faces at the counter, the light through the window, the time on the clock--the meaning of it all escapes Harry, who lost his girl and can't find his way. He and the boys will keep Je's open for now, but they won't work themselves to death like she did. There will be a different balance now. "You spend your whole life working, planning for the day when you can take...
Forrester (Connery) is a one-book novelist, fallen into an endless Salinger-esque funk. From the window of his Bronx apartment he watches black kids playing basketball in a vastly changed neighborhood. The best and brightest of them, Jamal (good newcomer Brown), penetrates his lair on a dare, and a mentoring relationship develops between the cranky old writer and the very bright teenager. The film's twists and turns are as predictable as the patronizing racism at the private school that grants the boy a scholarship. Something more surprising might have been made of this odd couple, but Van Sant...
...taxi driver; tipsy Uncle Billy; the man at the window who watches George court Mary and tells him to "kiss her"; the good-hearted, decorously loose woman (Gloria Grahame)--they do what friends are supposed to do, which outwardly is not all that much. Bacon, Montaigne, Emerson and a few brave others who attempted to write essays on the subject failed to define friendship because, unlike romantic love, the emotion is generally undemonstrative; it is made up of the things we do not do--betray, belittle, be harsh. When it does manifest itself, we often don't see it coming...
