I really wish I’d made this film. (“You had me at hello.”) It’s obsessive, monumental, fun. I wish I’d spent years searching for time. But my kind—my reel time—is observational, documentary. What if someone else had made The Clock? What if women had? What if the rest of us had been given the rest of time?
