Trust

Laughter

“Tell no one” (Ne le dis à personne) got a good enough review in the Times so I decided to see the movie tonight.
In the line for ticket holders a couple was discussing a good review in the New Yorker and a bad one in New York magazine.
I enjoyed the movie tremendously. In some ways it borrows from “The Third Man” but even if you notice this there is something extremely appealing about it.
For an American audience the movie was maybe a bit too neat. The monologue at the end caused some laughter in the theatre, which was clearly not intended by the director.
"Tell no one" informs the audience that if you want the other person to stay interested he or she needs a reason to doubt your story.
Trust kills coupledom.

People do not need a raison to doubt a story, at least not a reason you have to offer them.
Is there, by definition, an absolute trust in a couple, or in a family, or in any other group?
(Can we trust ourselves?). Etcetera.

That film is two years old. And here in Europe we complain when we get American films a couple of months later.

You see, I don't complain.

People tend to take things at face value.

I always have a hard time explaining to my love why i want to keep some secrets to myself. This post has encouraged me to give it another try.

Did they show it dubbed or subtitled? Subtitles would make up for the 2 years delay; we almost only get dubbed American films.

Subtitles.
