Double Headders
The last time I’ve watched two movies in one day was seven years ago at Amcorp Mall. I’ve got to experience the crazy antics again, last Sunday at Midvalley with Lian Chee. It wasn’t planned though. On both occasion it rained heavily after the first movie, making it difficult to exit the building and prompt a second screening.
It was the last day of the French Movie Festival at Midvalley on the previous Sunday. Since i’ve never watched French movie before, it’ll make a good experience then with La Science des rêves (Science of Sleep). Personally I’d find this movie more English then French. Though the movie is a bout a guy in France working for a calender production company, most of the conversation are in English due to the protagonist inability to speak French fluently. Well, not that I understand French, but rather what’s written on the subtitle.
I do find this movie amusing, after all, it is a comedy with lots of lewd jokes to go around. Also i feels that it speaks to me, in the sense that I do daydream allot in my younger days like the protagonist, though not to the extend of the inability to differentiate between reality and hallucination.
The second movie was titled Hors de prix (Priceless) in which we were very
lucky to get good seatings all thanks to the unclaimed reserved seats. we were seated third row from the back, middle seating. it was the best spot for a small screen (after all, how many locals are interested in foreign films?). And the best
part is there’s 2-3 vacant seats from the left and right of us. I could’ve slouch and spread my arms onto the arm rest if i wanted to. Anyway, back to the movie, it’s much more memorable and enjoyable then the first mainly because Audrey Tautou was so hot.
