Question about Mozart and the Whale (movie)
There’s a scene where Isabel gets home to Donald’s house after a date. (ETA: She’s in his living room on his couch.) She asks him if he has any old food in the fridge.
He says yes.
She then gets a bit exasperated and says “This is about SEX!”
I get that there’s some social cue about sex that Donald has missed. But what is it? Does a question about old food have some kind of hidden meaning? Or supposed to be some kind of signal to a partner? If so what kind?
I really don’t get it and it’s been bugging me for years. None of my theories feel right. And I don’t have many theories even. Just utterly confusing.
