It feels like I’ve spent a lot of my time in cinemas in tears. Of course it is easier to cry in the cinema than during almost any other cultural experience because people are rustling boxes of popcorn and jiggling ice about in oversized cups, which covers the sniffles, plus it’s really, really dark. Occasionally, my emotions have been exposed, like the time when my friend Rebecca and I wailed out loud over Daniel Day-Lewis saying goodbye to Joan Allen on a beach in The Crucible, and everyone laughed at us.
