It is the social organism that we have independently developed that defines the development of the urban. It is the portrait of the urban as the result of industrialization, or modernization, and now its epoch, celebration, revival, and constant struggle over its organization. It is a picture of the urban anxiety, it is the occurrence of the dichotomy between the human urban organization, and the romantic, organic, realm of nature. The separation that is born of the intensity of the city streets that instigates the desire for green space and parks as an escape.

It is within the social that she descends to become awash in people and find a resolution to her constant apprehension. When she is alone in the park, she finds romance and solace.

Whether her desires and predicaments are in fact determined by her environment, and then appropriately met.

He is seamlessly met with a handkerchief and a bouquet of flowers as if they were awaiting him.

And besides all of the incredible details that one could endlessly explore in the movie, its worth the watch just for the wonderful romance.
