"I'm-sure-it's-profound-in-context title?" Check. "Old-man-recalls-golden-age-of-bygone-cultural-relic" plot structure? Check. Young man of promise fleeing for "real world" in quirky/semi-seedy profession? Check. Love triangle with broken-blossom and possessive husband? Check. Best actor in ensemble playing the bad guy? Check. "Based on the acclaimed novel?" Check. This is what people mean when they say Oscar Bait is it's own genre.
