In this episode, I talk about Delbert Mann's precious 1955 film, "Marty." It tells the story of Marty, a 34-year-old butcher who has struggled all his life to find love. One night, he meets Clara, a woman who can relate to his loneliness. This is a film about the pain of invisibility and the power of connection. It's about what it means to finally feel seen after a lifetime of rejection.
This is a deeply personal episode for me, but it's one that I hope reaches anyone who might need to hear it and to be reminded that they are not alone.
The audio quality is the best I could provide right now. Apologies if it is not up-to-par for some. I did my best.
Note: I am not doing regular or consistent episodes, but I will release an episode when I feel I have something of value to say about a film.
