 Paul Mazursky's Enemies, A Love Story
The ferris wheel -- aptly designated the "wonder" wheel -- leaves this naming fully ambivalent, as Mazursky leaves the question open as to whether it is a circle of life, or, according to a more postmodern reading, a Nietzschean endless repetition of the same.
It is one of the powerful images in the film that allows itself to be interpreted either way, and this ambivalence signals the entire structure of desire and love in the wake of the Holocaust.
Mazursky and Singer did not invent the narcissistic-masochistic character, but Enemies, A Love Story has given us one of the most precise and enduring performances of this pathology and its disastrous effects, and a "story" that disturbs the sentimentalized and nostalgiac representation of love after the Holocaust.
