Review of Scent of a Woman

I loved this movie. "Al Pacino plays an irascible, mercurial crackpot" is an easy sell for me even if the movie were about something else entirely.

One of Pacino's lines stuck with me for entirely personal reasons. Every straight guy has some trait he likes in women. My brain gets thrown back to the Stone Age by curly hair. The line I've been quoting over and over goes roughly like this:

"Women... who made 'em? God must have been a fucking genius. They say the hair is everything. Have you ever buried your nose in a mountain of curls and wanted to go to sleep forever?"

I know exactly what he meant.
