It's a perfect marriage of directing, writing, and acting.

WORD. \m/

I probably could've left it at that, but I'm never one for brevity ♥

:D No worries. One should never be brief about good films. ♥

If I really loved something, I can go on about it forever. LUCKY FOR YOU! ♥

I really need to make more posts about films in general. Especially since I've been having more out of print vhs adventures. That was more prevalent years ago, when I still had stores I could scavenge, which I've missed, so being able to do that again has been thrilling. Of course, the vcr ate the tape, but I found another copy to replace it. These are the things I do for '80s French films.

Almost all French films are worth the effort. ;)

They indeed are, especially when it's a film about a couple twins in love and how he drives across country with her corpse stuffed in a guitar case because she was electrocuted when taking a milk bath and a light fixture fell in it.

I had about five minutes left of the film when the tape got eaten :/

Haha! It's Inviation au voyage. I discovered it because one of the actresses was in a Louis Malle film I enjoyed. It's a surprisingly funny, touching little film. His sister was a singer, so he made it his aim to spread her music wherever he could. She asks in a scene,
"What would you do if I died?"
And he tells her,
"I'd make you live again."

I still laugh when I remember an old man in the film who spent most of his days next to a jukebox. He loved David Bowie and Lou Reed but, "Julio Iglesias makes me want to vomit!"

Hopefully I'll get to, or else I'll make up my own ending.
