[a la folie pas du tout]

finally watched the a/m movie.. audrey tatou is a perfect choice for the female lead - for most of the first half of the film she's in amelie mode, what with that hair and totally innocent look.. although i must say that the story is very flat and downright predictable. its just an interesting study of what the filmmaker terms erotomania, which probably means stalker to ordinary people like you and me. its not a thriller either. i dont quite know how to describe it.. french films are just like that. isnt it strange how everybody wants somebody to call their own (correct me if im wrong but i believe im paraphrasing the title of a very old Corrs song) but sometimes having somebody who wants you can be totally destructive? our cardiologist (cardiologique in french, i think) protagonist Loic loses his office, unborn baby, license to practise and, very nearly, his wife and his sanity. creepy..

too stoned to think about anything else. that was a horrible attempt at a film review.. had much grander things in mind but somehow they dont make the transition to bits n bytes very well.

soundtrack of my mind's still very much the same: One Inch Punch's "Pretty Piece of Flesh".

still wading hip-deep in work. somehow work is so much more tiring than studying.. either that or im growing old way before my time.
