The Ellroy Boys discuss David Lean's tragically beautiful, Brief Encounter, with the wonderful and wise, @bimboubermensch. The film, an adaptation of Noël Coward's Still Life, tells the story of an affair between two married strangers who meet at a railway station, prior to the beginning of WWII. The story is entirely set to Sergei Rachmaninoff's incredible Second Piano Concerto, which feels inextricably tethered to the film's heart and to it's success and overall effectiveness. Our discussion goes far and wide as we talk about love, extramarital affections, the death of romance, the film's Ellrovian sensibilities, and of course, Rachmaninoff.
