The empire grows...and an Interesting French film

With the girls banging out the eggs big style, and orders coming in thick and fast, I have started to sell the ton of new potatoes left over from the allotment. This afternoon got rid of a load to a passing rambler, and I have made the most of the sunshine (more floods tomorrow I hear), and have walked on the beach,shopped and mown the lawn.

Tonight will be a night in, in front of the tv!



The other night watched an interesting film on one of those "out of the way" channels on sky. The French film Une liaison pornographique (1999) was a weird little number. A Parisian woman Nathalie Baye, advertises for a man on the Internet to fulfil her need for a pornographic affair. She meets, Spaniard Sergi López, and after a series of private liaisons they fall in love. The relationship falters and subsequently ends and that is about all there is ! yep it sounds a bit pretentious and very , well "French", but I must admit the leading actors gave the whole thing a heart, that perhaps the director did not want to show. The film does not show the "pornography" hinted by the title, but it concentrates on the little intimacies that surface between the two characters, making the whole thing rather more interesting. I thought Lopez particularly good ( he was the baddie to beat ALL baddies in Laberinto del fauno, El (2006))
