Tagline: Where is my bibelot?

She has a loving husband and cares for an aging mother who makes few demands.  Then Mann appears.  Well, he re-appears.  He is calm, quiet, and persistent.  He cannot be what he appears to be since, when our heroine takes pictures of him, he’s not there!  Photoshopped out before he was ever in.  So maybe he is what he says he is.  From the past, and from…elsewhere. 

Mann first appeared to her twenty-five years before when she was but a sapling and now he’s back.  Largely silent, totally enigmatic, but real outside the camera lens.

Yes there are men in black with wraparound sunglasses at midnight wearing highly polished shoes.  Why do cinematographers like shots of feet anyway.  Is this a Masonic fetish? An alien signal? Or just stupidity? The last seems the best choice, given the blind imitation of so many filmmakers.  Monkey see, monkey do, sums them up.  Seeing feet in another movie, the imitation starts and continues.  

Cast and crew.

One of those men in black came back, too, twenty-five years later (and just about steals the show), but with neither the shades nor the shoes.  

It is carried by the woman in the lead and she does that with energy, enthusiasm, and intelligence.
