I've been renting a whole slew of French films from Netflix over the last few holiday weeks. I've got "The Widow of St. Pierre" for tonight, a Juliet Binoche movie- I've got a thing for her. I loved the film "Blue" from the trio of films called "Three Colors Trilogy: "Blue", "White" and "Red" from director Krzysztof Kieślowski. Each one is in the tone of that color; so, you can imagine how "Blue" is a darker, sad film. It's about a woman who is in a terrible car crash with her composer husband and young daughter. Both of them are killed in the crash and Juliet's character must try to go on in her life. During the course of the film you see that she was composing the music with her husband (and sometimes for him) that had made him so famous. She has this music going through her head the whole film and it's totally dramatic and just sits in that blue feeling the whole film for you to enjoy the Blue.

Well, tonight's film is going to be lighter, I'm sure (as most of my films have been recently - "Priceless" w/ Audrey Tatou, "Jet Lag" another Juliet film, "Solider on the Roof" Juliet Binoche, to name a few). I'll be enjoying some Brie cheese, French bread, and Red wine with the films- yummy! Probably not on my healthy New Year's resolution to eat more salads for dinner. Oh well, it's sooo worth it. Gotta go and get to my French film fest w/ Brie-j'ai faim.. Au revoir! Jenn
