And I still haven't quite forgiven Asia Argento for the double whammy of that and MOTHER OF TEARS (which, I'll grant you, is MUCH worse) in the same year, haha.<br /><br />FAT GIRL is showing free at The Auteurs right now, so I will probably try to see that at some point as well.<br /><br />I just found this one enchanting. I loved the atmosphere of the whole thing. Glad you enjoyed it as well.Mattie Lucashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04031967293313685427noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36921766.post-70201255492206659432010-03-29T11:43:54.315-04:002010-03-29T11:43:54.315-04:00I laughingly remember how I went to the mat with y...I laughingly remember how I went to the mat with you two years ago over Ms.Breillat's THE LAST MISTRESS (which I loved and you didn't) but with BLUEBEARD we are in complete agreement.

The IFC Film Center audience at the midnight show I saw over the weekend were seemingly spellbound, without the slightest hint of fatigue, which does tell you something. I went with 4.5 of 5, which is basically on par with your own rating.Sam Julianonoreply@blogger.com
