Oh, don't get me started on films, that's all I do, I don't watch television. I could have a blog just for film reviews, but I won't ;)

I would love to live out my days writing & directing independent films and on top of all that creating soundtracks for each and every one of them! ~ Ah, the dreamer...

Thanks for the recommend Calli,
the movie sounds perfect for
Springtime!

Well, Calli, why not start just
that writing and directing those
sweet gems of independent films.
And the soundtrack - you are
so great at finding just the
perfect song - a mix tape authored
by you is a slice of heaven,
I'm sure.

Good Luck with your Dream.

i concur - great movie!
french with subtitles.
favorite scene: walking the blind man across the street, describing everything, giving sight to his mind's eye.

the outtakes are also stunning!
(i think the DVD labels them as "fantasies.")

to Audry!
