1. Great selection here.

Interestingly, right now I have the Le Fabuleux Destin d'Amelie Poulain DVD on its way to me from NetFlix. It is a nearly flawless film. I have watched it over and over again in the past, and no doubt will do so this time as well. Part of its perfection is its art direction and the scoring. Brilliant. Glad that you cited it here.

Love RVW, and Arvo Pärt. And one can hardly beat Haydn string quartets. He more or less invented the genre, you know.

Keep it up. It's going to take some time getting through these, however.



I have no idea who Mason Bates is. Will see.

2. I'm currently being 'directed' or gently 'driven' to do this.

Believe it's an antidote to the stress-filled environment we find ourselves in. Plus a way to counter the iniquity wrought by those I hold responsible as being the 'causation'.

I listen to different renditions/selections and 'try' to choose the best one[s] pleasing to my 'ear'. 'Tho I'm hardly any expert. 🙂

I haven't viewed it; still and all, enjoy your film!

3. It's a true feel good film.

French language. The break out role for Audrey Tautou.

Highly recommended to cure the blues.

That and a hug or two.

4. Subtitles, yes?

My HS French is limited.

6. Indeed, subtitles, yes!

I took French in HS, many many decades ago. And I utterly suck at foreign languages. I have forgotten it all since then. I am decidedly a monoglot.

That certainly doesn't prevent me from thoroughly enjoying foreign language films. I am a huge fan of French, Swedish, Italian, and German cinema. I much prefer subtitles to dubbed.

7. I don't mind subtitles at all. Dubbing is like, well, kinda a contrivance.

I don't presume our TV fiber provider has this movie in their list. We shall investigate.
Thx for the recommend. 👊

5. I just caught this Bates.

In the genre of Arthur Foote, etc. American 'Classical'.

Fond of violin? See Arthur Foote performed by Kevin Lawrence [and pianist on some recordings].
