Great article:
Shakespeare is like sex.

I watched A Very Long Engagement a few nights ago - I got it for my birthday. :] Allow me to summarize it in a nutsell: A French independent film, from the director of Amélie and featuring many of the same actors (including Audrey Tautou), set during WWI, as both a love story and a mystery.

How could I not love it?

For the French students in the audience, a cute pun: The young lovers in our story are Mathilde and Manech. Wherever they go, they write or carve 'MMM': Mathilde aime Manech. Manech aime Mathilde. Aww.

Highly, highly recommended. I ought to keep my eyes open for the novel.

~Joy should read All Quiet on the Western Front again, or something.
