Beat that my Heart Skipped
The Beat that My Heart Skipped looks like a good film. Read a piece on and with the director, Jacques Audiard here.
“I’m interested in the possibility of having a new start in life, and what it involves to start again,” says Audiard. “This character wants to get rid of his old life, his thug friends and all the rest of it, but deep down, knows he’s bound to fail. Becoming a concert pianist at the age of 30 is a complete non-starter – yet he keeps at it, and that’s what makes him interesting.”
Also, by the by, SF Said the journalist is also a very good writer of children’s books. You would do well to check out his latest, the Outlaw Varjak Paw.

“Contrary” asks why post about something I haven’t seen yet. At first that might seem odd, but really it’s to let other people know about something they might like as it sounds like the type of thing I’d like.
