But films should be voyeuristic. What else is a film if you're not snooping into somebody else's lives?
At a certain age, death becomes familiar to you-or a loss becomes familiar-the tragedies that are more commonplace in life.
What we have at present is a system of loss socialism. Whatever goes wrong is shouldered by the general public and anything that works is privatised. Worshippers of market freedom have suspended the most important economic principle: Risk and liability go hand in hand.
