Stanley Donen's Two for the Road looks at an entire relationship by cutting back and forth between different road trips through Europe, from the couple first meeting on the road, to what seems like their last, the marriage clearly on the rocks. As an editing job, it's marvelous, not only telling a story with natural ironies, and memories counter-pointing later events, but also filled with clever match cuts to send the audience back and forth through time unawares. Somehow, it gets its cake and eats it to, turning what could be a cynical story about marriage into a very romantic one. It's got humor, beautiful locations, and, well, Audrey Hepburn and Albert Finney, acting up a storm and not at all fixated on being likable, just real. Do we think these two are a good match? Does that opinion change depending on the time period we're looking at? It really is like all three Before movies wrapped into one, and I wouldn't be surprised if it's a key inspiration (or became one, midstream, at least by Before Midnight which has several similarities). And man... I thought the "child-king" concept was a more recent invention, but there it is wreaking havoc in the late 60s - those sequences with William Daniels are frankly as hilarious as they are empathetically irritating.devilsadvocado
Pills! Hamburger pills!Hard to imagine that this filming style was considered avante-garde and "quick" for its time. For the first 30 minutes, I was leaning towards dismissing this movie as drivel, but ended up getting really absorbed by the story. A "Blue Valentine" for the 1960s, though lighter and funnier for the most part.
Also, insane to see Albert Finney (Big Fish, The Bourne Ultimatum) in his youth.

Oh, the beginning is so charming, cute, old-fashioned and modern at the same time (especially technically), to become even more than just a very romantic and funny film. Two incredible leads - Audrey Hepburn in her penultimate role of the main part of her career.The non-linear approach and natural style should make this a mandatory watch for fans of Blue Valentine and Linklater's Before-films.
