A Nos Amours
I'm biased against French sex dramas, because even though they are claimed to be "unflinching" and realistic, they never say anything about all the STDs being swapped. If the characters in these movies were the norm, the crabs would beat out the cockroaches and ants in a post-apocalyptic world.
Also, a great problem I have is the simpleton nature of these movies -- as beautiful as they might said to be in form -- compared to the way classical literature handles these scenarios. You pick from <PERSON>'s Aeneid, medieval courtly-love poetry, "Sister Carrie," Dante's Inferno's Canto 5, <PERSON>'s "Either/Or," and I could go on for another 500,000 words. 292
I'm just not finding the profundity I demand after all that reading.
I will just read 'Either/Or" again, and then go on to the Sickness Unto Death. I think my favorite directors have done that: <PERSON>, <PERSON>, <PERSON>, etc. <PERSON>, meanwhile, is stuck writing this movie about 15-year-old girls having serious sexual problems. 61
