Isn't Julian Schnabel from New York? Why is this a foreign film?

It's foreign produced, so that's prob. why. I would think, at least.

Alex 12-07-2007 07:43 PM

It's an American director but otherwise definitely a French film. French financing of an adaptation of a French book about a French person. In French, with a mostly French cast (at least one Swede and one African).

Kevy Baby 12-07-2007 07:44 PM

Were there any French Fries?

Alex 12-07-2007 07:59 PM

Probably not, but maybe. A fair portion of the movie involves a man who has had a stroke, is completely immobilized and can now communicate only by blinking the one eyelid that remains under this control.

Hows that for sounding like a French movie? (I assume there are flashbacks and stuff and it isn't just watching him blink at his interpreter).

Not Afraid 12-07-2007 08:53 PM

Everything I have heard about this film so far is wonderful! i just didn't realize it was French.

Another award that I've never heard of The Critic's CHoice Award where everyone can vote.
