To return to Eyes Wide Open - I've restricted myself to these two shots, but hundreds are beautiful; it is subtle, could almost be wordless and makes your heart race in the way a will-they-won't-they Hollywood rom-com struggles to recreate - I've selected this scene as my favourite.
Ezri and Aaron are working together to unpack a meat delivery at Aaron's butchery. Following their discussion, detailed below, Ezri assumes he has been rebuffed by Aaron, but we know the longing remains. Here, Aaron is seen repeatedly returning to where Ezri is working, without rhyme or reason. He simply wants to talk to him, to look at him, to have an excuse to be near him.
This scene so resonated as I feel we've all been there; desperate to break the ice or to have any form of communication with that one person you can't breathe without contacting. Aaron awkwardly claps his hands, light-heartedly punches the wall and turns around and the tension is palpable - he wants to physically, as well as verbally, reach out, and you beg of him to.
