arcadia was great, but scary - i watched it in the dark as the music got louder and the images less benign. i love all the idiosyncracies and hidden things about our country but didn't see much reassurance for the peace and love hippies in the future. the guys dancing in suits outside the pub is a sweet thing. i felt that much of the film had a sad or disturbing atmosphere with the threat or memory of empire and war, and again these days so many people seem so aggressive and so certain of their bigoted views - i'm worried.
