The letters thread is now closed.
I saw this a month and a half ago now, and out of a flurry of movies I saw at the Van Film Fest, I find this is the one I keep returning to in my thoughts. It gets to you for sure, but not in an obvious way.
Coming from a large family, I can definitely sympathize with many of the characters. And Amalric, man, he's rad as Henri. Between this, his turn in Bond and The Diving Bell & the Butterfly, well, he's certainly becoming one of my favourites to watch. I love when he recites the letter to his sister. It may be my favourite monologue in any film that I've seen this year.
Anyhow, I may try to see it again once it makes its way back to Vancouver (actually it may be here this weekend?). Definitely worth the investment of time.
