I didn’t really have many expectations going into the movie (good or bad), but I actually really enjoyed it. I really liked the characters and the banter between them.

A film of deceptively outspoken contemporary relevance, this is cinema at its most alert, alarming and alive.

Each character in this movie — down to the smallest one — is an individual rather than a type, prone to spontaneous changes of mood and sometimes amusing outbursts of pettiness or ill humor.

But sometimes the phrase is used to mean country women. I don't know, je ne comprende pas Francaise, nor did I understand what the words in this made-possible-by-a-grant-from-someone mid-seventies art flick. But I do believe I caught what it was saying anyway. Flicking channels I bumped into it. mesmerized, but too tired to stay up and watch I decided I would look for it on line, or in a video store or something. Ha! I had to stay awake and watch the whole thing, I knew I'd never see it again. Life's like that.Sometimes something just catches you. Noticing the phosphorescence on a dark ocean, when you just can't believe the girl asleep beside you, finding an old picture that makes you smile and feel sad at the same time, walking home with the robins starting up, you know, things that creep up on you, make life worth it after all. Hard to imagine anyone will be reading these words, wouldn't be the first time IMDb's been a personal journal for me, but to those who made this, Merci.
