Louise Cohn

Why, I think this film is magnificent. It's subject matter, theme, and cinematography are all black and white, and, Unfortunately the American landscape deprives minorities from being fully able to flesh out a colorful existence- and perceived changes to existence, whether on a personal level or as sweeping societal changes begin hopefully bathed in bright light but end darkly, tragically, nonsensically enshrouded in darkness. More than a coinage character study. Passing is quiet, it's sound contained and carried through by all that Jazz.
