That way lies the verbal Fall from the Edenic language, Babel, logophobia and the desire for redemptive language schemes. |
Even so, this ambivalence about the redemptive value of art does not efface the authorial voice of the film. |
The man's imagination may not be redemptive, but it can at least be epical. |
Nor does she shirk her moral duty to counter evil with the redemptive power of truth. |
So this limpid, adorable film is also a tough, matter-of-fact portrait of the everyday, not a sentimental, redemptive whitewash. |
It feels emotional and meaningful to me because I do think love is incredibly redemptive. |
