Abstract

By showing teenagers falling in love, and then cutting to the loving couple, now elderly, the short film, Come brilliantly uses the excision of the narrative tradition of delay in order to revolutionize the cinema's presentation of love in theoretical synchronicity with Irving Singer's philosophical study, The Nature of Love.
