...girlfriend to come live with him. She arrives at his empty apartment to await his return. Another man, framed for stealing a car, suddenly flings himself into the apartment. Through the cold heat of silence, these two strangers embrace on a lonely mattress. In the morning, the two lovers glide through the city lip-locked, ordering chicken and blueberry muffins for breakfast. In the last shot, a tow truck carrying the stolen car glides past them in the street. All this culminates under the lull of John Lurie’s syncopated voice.This is the premise...
