Friday, October 19 :: He Loves Me... He Loves Me Not

Hiya, true believers! This week, we're showing a more recent film than our last exploit, Dr. Strangelove - and it's of a type that I most exuberantly enjoy - a story with more twists and turns than the St. Lawrence, He Loves Me... He Loves Me Not!

The setup is simple enough: Lead actress Audrey Tautou plays Angélique, a very successful art student, who is trying to seduce the married cardiologist Loïc away from his (pregnant) wife.

The plot twists just skyrocket from there, but I can point out something even from that paltry description that you might miss: The movie opens with following the seductress, not the seduced: it's her actions, her life. That doesn't seem so out there that it's never happened before, but ... I can't think of any examples of that off the top of my head.

It's shaping up to be a great Friday! Remember, we're in the Electronic Classroom every Friday, so drop by if you wanna get in on watching this fantastic foreign film.
