Love it. Bought the Criteria Collection version of this movie, just because of the album cover. Had a lengthy post about Lindsey and the paper merchant, but I don't know whether it was here or on fmlegacy.
Anyway, aesthetically, Stevie's waved hair and nicked waist looks great and I am sure there is a name for figures that interlock, but I don't know what it is. Whatever, that's what Lindsey and Stevie look like, interlocking puzzle pieces waiting to be pushed together to be made whole. Yin and yang.
Ostensibly facing opposite ends, but the differences make the joinder possible, but it also has a sensual component. I mean, it suggests artistic and physical combination.
I love the black and white and just the red for the title. That's borrowed from the Double Suicide cover too, as is Stevie's outfit, even though she's not in a kimono. The flow of her top is modeled after the movie.
LOVE IT.
It's not my number one, because I'm always going to have 3 songwriters on my covers, but SYW is my #2.
