It's a PDF file 32 pages long and to quote David, "What I would like to do is ask a rather simple question: Why?
Why do people fall in love with this film?
What is so special about it?
In what follows, I will try to develop an answer to this question."

I re-read it the other day and fell in love with Agnes and Elin all over again.
(Not that i was ever out of..... Oh, you know what I mean. )
OMFG! what a find. This has been missing for ages. I knew I'd seen it on pDF somewhere before, but I didn't keep a copy. When David's' freesite went down it erased most of it, and he didn't have a back up copy.
Ian! Ian! Ian! can you make sure to email David Christian and tlet him know that its turned up after all this time.
