D. Au Hasard Balthazar: Had the same bizarre experience as I did watching In the Mood for Love, where at every point I saw what another might love about the movie without loving a second of it myself (perhaps a younger self would have been such another, but in each case I doubt it). And I swear it wasn't the religious thing which was the problem, at least in any direct way, since it's such an inoffensively vague element here. Of the possible ways to summarize the movie on an index card quite a few of them would have sounded great to me, is the thing, so its task was really easy - like Moonrise Kingdom's was, frankly. Maybe even easier than that, given that I cry over munching lorises. But somehow instead of doing it it just kept holding out its card.

Probably time to abandon this project. Who needs help from art to be disappointed.
