George Falconer (Colin Firth) was sitting in the same same couch with his lover Jim (Matthew Goode). George was reading Franz Kafka’s Metamorphosis, while Jim was reading Truman Capote’s Breakfast at Tiffany’s.

Personally I love both of these stories. I love the way Kafka portrayed the hopelessness of social-phobic man, and I love the way Capote showing how a socialite girl can hurt herself and people around her. But what really tickled me was the atmosphere that the 2 intimate friends reading the books they loved together. It might be common in the 60′s, but not today in 2010. Maybe we can read eBooks on the iPads on the same couch, but sure you know it is not the same.

I love Mad Men, and I like A SINGLE MAN. I love Andy Warhol and Edie Sedgwick. I love The Velvet Underground and Nico. I love Truman Capote.

I know I miss the 60′s, although I haven’t been there.

This time we have 13 of those screen tests shot in the middle of the chaotic glamourous ’60s, featuring the legendary superstar Edie Sedgwick, the cool Nico, Lou Reed from the Velvet Underground, the very talented but die young dancer Freddy Herko and more.

But Where is the Bob Dylan’s one?
