sounds like something to look forward to, non?

Quoted: ""Like so much of Desplechin's work, this combines a largely naturalistic story with a highly idiosyncratic approach," writes Andrew O'Hehir for Salon. "Characters address the camera directly, or narrate their letters before a photographer's backdrop. There's a puppet show, a children's play, bits of romantic fantasy and mock-noir montage - depicting the abundant nightlife of Roubaix, the provincial city in northern France where the story takes place - as well as quotations from Emerson, Nietzsche and Shakespeare and snippets from Funny Face, The Ten Commandments and other films I didn't catch.... IFC has acquired United States distribution rights, and I can only applaud the company's courage. This won't be an easy sell even to European audiences, and it's not likely to win the Palme d'Or. But if I see another film all year long that prickles me, disturbs me or moves me half as much, I'll be surprised."
