The screenings end around ten - there’s an after party at Shinsen and I do want to go but then Ellie and I walk to get food and then the whole thing feels a little daunting and then we’re wandering past Cipriani Downtown, glittering, gauche, definitionally hedonistic with the stakes being only that of exhibitionism. I, half joking, suggest we stop for a drink, but then we’re hovering by the awning and then we’re whisked inside, seated by the bar, order one bellini each but the cups never run dry, refilled wordlessly by the Italian bartender in front of us after every other sip. Soon, the night is sparkly. Glistening with what is not all gold, but which all certainly appears as such in this parallel universe where pleasure is anticipated and met. No end in sight, I pry myself away.
