Pleasure

Year

What does an assimilated Jew do on the Day of Atonement? In the late afternoon I went to the movies.
“Une nouvelle Amie” (The New Girlfriend) directed by François Ozon was slightly disappointing.
Yes, Anaïs Demoestier was sheer pleasure to watch but the screenplay was lacking depth. Cross-dressing can be titillating, but that's a trite observation. Nevertheless, I left the movies with a resolution: more cross-dressing in the new year.
