Okay, watched Cactus Flower today--a nice change from Aurore. I'd never seen it before--the romance was only ok (Walter Mathau's character is not very likable) but it's really witty.
It's available to watch on youtube.

tv
I've somehow been sucked into watching Aurore, the more recent movie about a little girl in 1920s Quebec who was beaten to death by her father and step-mother. I am not at all in the right mood for watching depressing movies, but I got sucked in anyway. Most of the abuse happens offscreen, so maybe that's partly why I could stand it. And the woman playing the step-mother is frikking scary.
The Aurore case is super well known in Quebec--a sort of cultural phenomenon.
Ahhh! I take back what I wrote about the violence being offscreen. I had to mute the TV just now. Why am I watching this??
