What if life was a movie that you could edit yourself? Or a play that you could rewrite? Or a face that you will not forget, never, ever, it might be yours? What if culture was there for you to make sense of – all this? What if Hilton Als was a friend, a voice, a guide through the art that life is, with all his wisdom and warmth and wealth of – everything? What if he would tell About the greatness of Montgomery Clift, the spirituality of Nina Simone, the class of Dirk Bogarde, the lips of Jeanne Moreau, about Marlene Dietrich, Robin Thicke, Truman Capote, about a kiss, his uncle, Barbara Epstein? Life would be better!
