      I think that’s the way to say it when you’re talking about one of the few who have “something else“. I take the term from
      Plato. In Greek The word is “Allo Ti “. Is anyone in pervious from wanting something else, which comes to nothing in every day speech, but used
      Because this with the not so simple and Greek phrase that came for Plato to sell for human aspiration and the possibility of transcendence

      From the moment I read about vagabond I could barely make it through the week but had an appointment with the most valuable behind the scenes figure in modern poetry To go over a book of poems I had hoped I had finished… He wondered why I was so drawn to Vagabond- Before I give it a thought to Sandrine Bonaire. My favorite of her films were the one directed by Jaques Rivette where she play the scientist who is forced to take on the role of the detectiveAnd I am Mesmerized by the Scene where she moves back-and-forth between Munro and another changing trains… Between your lab and what are dinner fathers house b

    Her "Le bonheur" is still a very thought-provoking film, as it asks, can a man love two women at the same time? Also, watch Truffaut's "Jules and Jim," which asks the opposite question: can a woman love multiple men at the same time? Europeans are still much more advanced when it comes to dealing with these issues in a mature and artistic fashion.

    Agnes is so charming, wise and adorable. I can listen to her talk about films (exploring their themes, concepts and visual ideas) forever. She exudes this deep passion and love for cinema and life in general which is incredibly refreshing to see.
    I would pick her any day over Godard. Her Vagabond, Gleaners and I & more recently Beaches of Agnes are some of my favorites. It's so amazing she picked "Sweetie" which also happens to be one of my all time favorites...yay!
    Agnes, if you are reading the comments section (why do i get this feeling that you have much better and more interesting things to do than this but if by some random chance that you are) and if you haven't yet seen them, please watch, Jellyfish (Meduzot) from Israel and Wadjda from Saudi Arabia - two very good films - which i think you will enjoy, judging by your taste and choice in movies.
