Within each pair, the photographs contradict and complement one another. Horn, as a late adolescent blanketed with curly brown hair, is juxtaposed with Horn in her middle ages rendered androgynous with her grey crew cut. The composition of each of the photographs—Horn’s head tilted to opposite sides—produces a reflective quality; one image could be flipped across the vertical axis to cover the other.

From the opening, mist-shrouded shot, Scorsese sets a moody, foreboding tone. A score of crashing, discordant strings and staccato horns underpins a visual palette of slate grey and brown, only interrupted for several disconcertingly Technicolor hallucinatory sequences.

After November's losses in the New Jersey and Virginia gubernatorial races, Scott Brown's stunning capture of Ted Kennedy's Massachusetts Senate seat, a spate of Democratic congressional retirements, the stalling of health care, consistently nerve-wracking economic news and steadily falling national and state presidential poll numbers, finding some political or policy victories to sweep aside the clammy shroud of failure is not going to be easy...
