The Morning Commute
The
genesis of this film is watching the faces of women putting on their
makeup on the subway. Isn’t it fascinating? For two dollars and change,
you see faces transformed by foundation, blush, lipstick, mascara. . . Women
conceal and create while the men reveal. So we’re really examining
transformation, femininity, performance art, gender, the culture of the
subway, cosmetics, subterranean grooming, the art of concealment,
uncovering the man underneath a beard, the pursuit of beauty, and
artifice. And sometimes, well, sometimes lipstick is just lipstick.
