I'm very curious to hear what you'd think of Max mon amour. I think that is the one you are most likely to enjoy but I'll never know unless you try...

In the Realm of the Senses, don't think I'll ever be the same after that ending.

OK, it's at the top of my netflix queue if you wanna check.

Yowza! The main thing I recall from Un Flic is the plastic toy helicopter.

Yes, I chose to overlook that technical aspect of the film.
