Very nice indeed. I hadn't gotten a chance
to view the film until today. As you say, he
captured the "look and feel" of French film
noir in color very well, and also its trade-
mark "sparse storytelling." We are told very
little about the events we don't see onscreen
that led up to the encounter we see onscreen,
but we are given just enough to imagine the
rest -- *our* "rest." 

Please pass along the congratulations and
encouragement of a lifetime film freak (moi) 
to your son, and let us know when there are 
others to be viewed.

Thanks for the encouragement, Rory. Jeremy 
made his most recent movie, "Marguerite," 
when he was 15, inspired by the motifs and
lighting of noir cinema.

Hey, Patrick; many thanks! -- my wife and I both caught your son's 
movie on YouTube, and were *very* impressed. I can't remember when I've 
seen more powerfully artistic cinematography. How old is your son?

I caught your meaning, Sal, and appreciate it - 
you gave me a new way of looking at it. My 
remark about its not being an action movie 
was an attempt at understatement. I'm glad 
you laughed - it was meant to amuse. And

Nicely done, Patrick.  And maybe I'm just missing something, but to me 
it looked like a lot of still shots, with music and dialogue in the

In my experience, yes. It may have a lot to 
do with being of college age and in a college
environment in which you can still get laid
by looking depressed and oh so thoughtful. :-)

How appropriate. The French have organized
an entire lifestyle around getting laid by
looking depressed and oh so thoughtful.  :-)
