I watched a French movie yesterday...

... actually it was more like 18 French short stories crammed one against the other over a span of 2 hours. Possibly the longest 2 hours I've experienced recently.

Some individual tales were actually not too bad. Some quirky humour, touching moments, and surprising twist. But the majority of the stories turn out to be nothing more than wannabe artists who cater to the movie critics instead of the average moviegoer. No doubt, this will win them awards at Cannes, but then again, those movie reviewers usually got their heads in the wrong place.

I even forget the name of the movie. And we had a scare because the first 10 minutes of the movie played with only Chinese subtitles on screen. Disgruntled audience had to scold the projectionist, and moments later, English subtitles appeared below the Chinese subtitles. Tsk tsk...

So anyway the movie is not recommended for the average moviegoer. But artsy fartsy types will love it.
