On the other hand, based on your high rating here, you indicate it's among the best of this past year, so I may catch it on dvd. <br />I gave the soundtrack a listen, and that was a nice surprise, included my favorites in a music post I did yesterday.365 moviesandsongs365noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-556159764413551252.post-85993547275286698482012-12-04T22:43:31.951-08:002012-12-04T22:43:31.951-08:00Ahh, the dreaded festival scheduling conflicts.

And, you're not the first I've heard say that about this film, I wonder how many other of his fans have stayed away from it because of the length and premise... I'm sure he was aware it would have that effect, so its a brave move to deliver it as is. Anyhow thanks for stopping by Jandy, I hope you get to see it soon.Bonjour Tristessehttp://www.bonjourtristesse.net/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-556159764413551252.post-38587442181950631392012-12-04T08:21:29.050-08:002012-12-04T08:21:29.050-08:00This played at AFI Fest this year, but I ended up ...This played at AFI Fest this year, but I ended up having to miss it - one screening didn't start until 10pm (actually closer to 11:30pm by the time it actually started, because the previous film was delayed), and the other started at 5pm, which was too early for me to get there from work. I'm glad to read your review, though, because despite loving both I Killed My Mother and Heartbeats, the length and the premise were making me hesitant about this one. Sounds like it's definitely something I'll like, though, when I get the chance to catch up with it.Jandyhttp://www.the-frame.com/blognoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-556159764413551252.post-38246180795746625652012-11-29T08:35:41.625-08:002012-11-29T08:35:41.625-08:00That took way too long for me to google up.
