I was completely immersed in this film - for 3 hours! The actors are superb and illicit genuine emotional empathy. A sensual and beautiful film with artistic cinematography and background music. I loved this movie so much.
In 2008, the movie “Departures” won the same award I think (best international film) and I have held it in my heart ever since. Two magical movies.

Perhaps the most powerful film I’ve seen. While I (being a sissy) had to cover my eyes several times, I was mesmerized throughout the movie and never restless. I’m already thinking that Benedict Cumberbatch and the young male McFee should garner Oscars for best actor and best supporting actor.

It took me 24 hours to come to terms with this book. The writing is beautiful. The story, as I see it, is about two pathologically immoral girls. Fabienne is a genius, with no real feelings for anyone. Agnes serves as a tool for her use.
Agnes is harder to understand and is at times seemingly sympathetic. But she fails to object to the cruelty of Fabienne towards humans and animals. She feels no love for her family or would be friends. No gratitude to those who would help her. No regret towards those innocents they have harmed (including the Gardner). Only an obsession for Fabienne, her alter ego. This line is telling: “Earl loves me, and I love being married to him.”
I can’t say whether or not I liked this book, but I couldn’t put it down. And I couldn’t stop thinking about it.
