à ma soeur -2

my previous comments on this film: http://www.hip1105.net/frenchy/frenchfilms/2005/08/ma-soeur.html

A couple of years have passed and I have now watched this film at least 5 times. Dramatically changed my view after the second viewing, thought it was really well-done. The reason why I am only writing this now though is that I have yet other ways to approach this film, which is not so much about the film itself, but my recent experience that gives me yet a deeper understanding of the relationship described in the film.

MOI JE M'ENNUIE...

As a big sister I have to admit that most of the time I truly simply cannot see things from the perspectives of a younger sister. Be it ways of interacting with family or friends, taking on life's ambitions, dealing with love/hate relationships, whether or not having a life.

I see myself in her eyes. "I can't believe you are my sister!" No, I can't either. The more I look at you the more I wonder, the more I wonder the more perplexed I get. Poles apart our thoughts run, heart to heart our secrets told -- I don't know you, yet I don't know you at all.

de six à dix, de dix à six ...
Out of my life, and I'm out of yours.
