It is obvious that Castella is an infatuated philistine but he's buying the drinks and they earn theater salaries, so they indulge him. But Clara will endure only so much of him. Castella's yearning for artistic growth turns out to be sincere. So is his desire to escape the gilded trap he has built for himself, including Angelique, an interior decorator of appalling taste. His discovery of an exciting new world reverberates into the lives of those around him.
Angelique has a moment of truth as well.
In the end, the characters all are shaken out of their complacency and assumptions regarding life, love and people as they sample the taste of others. That movie took on the sour personality of the squabbling family members at the center of the film. All rights reserved. Click here for Terms of Use and Privacy Policy.
