Mon Dieu

Bonjour,
I am new to the world of blogging and thus a little shy of intrepidly posting the quotidian wears, tears and bores of my life for all to see. I am currently trying to print an academic article on Sofia Coppola's cinematic career to date. My main aim in doing so is to expose the substance below the style and, most importantly, to single-handedly salvage 'Marie Antoinette' from the opprobrius criticism it unduly received...all in a day's work! I've just gotten home from an exceedingly depressing talk given by academics to aspiring academics on the harsh realities of publishing. Given the fact that this talk was held by specialists in the field of Divinity, I can only hope that my article may be of more interest to the world than one written on the gospel accorrding to St. Matthew (unless it's the Pasolini film we are talking about, in which case, I will demur).
I'm probably going to turn this into a little bit of a running commentary on cinema: new film releases, old classics and any gems I may happen upon.
First up tonight is an evening in with 'The Night Porter' starring Charlotte Rampling.
