Arty/punk

In the original scriptbook, some details are spelt out and some are not. Soderbergh says that Graham's car is a 1969 Cutlass (means very little to me except the fact that it clearly was not the latest model!) and Ann's hair is described as "luxuriant tresses" (obviously anticipating all those annoying L'Oreal ads). However, Graham's appearance is described very vaguely as "arty/punk". I wonder at what stage they decided on the blue jeans and black shirts (throughout).

I think that "arty punk" is just a polite way of saying, fashionably disinterested in who you offend or don't offend, while you stay comfortable.

I don't know exactly, Rose, but I love that description 'arty/punk'
And simplypm, fancy seeing you over here! I guess for those of us who love
Closer (like you and I) then this film makes a lot of sense, too. I interact
with Rose on the Secretary board as well.

Are we a thing? Darling, we're everything.
