response to Lynne Sachs film

One of the films by Lynne Sachs that I watched was called Same Stream Twice.  What I interpreted the film as is that the first part, the slow motion long take of a little girl running, was a reflection of nostalgia and childhood, and the choice to shoot in black and white emphasizes the nostalgia.  The second part, I believe, is the same girl as a teenager or adult, running in the same fashion and looking at the camera.  The film being distorted and “scratched” shows the passage of time, and because of the title, the film means to me that a person is changing and evolving so much as they age that they can never truly be the same person they were before.
