This movie is great. I started watching the beginning by chance, channel-hopping at 2am, and did not intend to keep watching, but it was SO GOOD, that I watched it all the way to the end. I actually laughed out loud at some scenes, by myself in my lounge, which is rare. And also found the philosophy teacher's spiral into obsession really sad. He spends his life asking questions, and she spends hers asking none. When he reaches the epitome of his frustration, and he tries to strangle her, you almost want him to succeed. I also liked the way Cécilia was realistic-looking, not traditionally goodlooking in the face or body, but merely had "something about her" that he couldn't quite put his finger on, but it kept him involved. And as such I think this film has "something about it" I can't put mine on either, but it kept me involved when watching it. Check it out.
