Don't Go Back

Autumn has come with full force. It is cold and wet and misty and I am suffering from a slight fall depression. All work and no play makes Whiteling a dull girl.

So I crabbed my pastels to cheer me up and this is what's turned out:





Let's have a closer look:

The drawing displays an early moment in the film Secret Window, in which Johnny Depp played Morton Rainey, a writer who begins to realise that his life is in shambles. I don't know if you, dear reader, know this film. It's based on a short story by Stephen King and I don't want to spoil the plot for you... so I just can say: the guy in the picture is not completely happy. ;-)
I saw the film when it was in cinema back in 2004 and liked it, apart from the ending which seemed too predictable to me. But only when I bought the DVD recently and watched it a few times, I noticed many fascinating details that I missed in the cinema. And of course, Johnny's performance is superb. And so is the thrilling score by Philip Glass. All in all, it may not be the greatest film ever, but an interesting and entertaining one.
