As arresting as <strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.imdb.com\/title\/tt0374248\/\">Strings<\/a><\/strong>, (another film&nbsp;absolutely everyone <em>must<\/em> see), it was infatuating, erotic, and haunting.&nbsp;I&#8217;ve never stopped looking for a copy. We agreed after that we&#8217;d&nbsp;not ever&nbsp;seen anything that so exquisitely captured the marvelous&nbsp;feeling of a trembling dream. There was a sense of timelessness I couldn&#8217;t let go of, nor did I want to for days after. I could catch glimpses of it between my lashes as I sat looking out the window of the bus or waiting in a line-up.
