Madmen for Dystalgia

Style screams, defining relationships acted out between the sexes. Style does not illustrate an idealized moment set in a 1960 Manhattan ad agency, but reprimands the desire to live in that moment. In this scene watch Pete and Peggy as he tells his dystalgic story:

Looking at Magritte’s Not To Be Reproduced (La Reproduction interdite), which is a painting, we are not part of the moment being depicted, but can watch and reflect on what we see and say based on style and space. Both Madmen and the Magritte put us in our physical and emotional present.
