Last count I saw before they pulled it today [3rd party copyright claim, probably Koch Lorber] was 1.3+ million views. Should be worth a few DVD sales, then...?

Boooooo! :x

What a shame.
I guess at least it was seen over a million times, hopefully by a (mainly :roll: ) appreciative audience.

NdP's premiere was at Cannes, 17th May 2007 [imdb].

The film was evidently shot in 2006, then, since it's set in summer. Celine S says, [in a Director's Notes podcast] that l'Acquart was 14 when they met.

So the 17 Dec '92 birthdate can't be right; it would mean Pauline was 13, not 14, in the summer of 2006, and wouldn't turn 14 until the December.

18 July '91 until further notice, then...

Wow, Louise, way to drop the puppy-fat!

Thanks, fish; it's all pretty speculative still TBH, but we must do what we can with the available data.

Nothing wrong with a bit of speculation.
If it doesn't w*rk out you can always say it was a conspiracy against you.
Everyone believes conspiracy theories. :roll: :P :lol:

Louise in the white top.

The slightly surreal atmosphere of some scenes is greatly enhanced by running them at x0.67 speed [or even x0.5]... 8)

Thanks for the tip. Will do that the next time I watch it.

Favourite scenes will probably differ from person to person; but as I've said before, the film is so rich in fleeting nuances of expression, and slo-mo brings them all out... *:)*

Lots of good NdP commentary and interpretation here.

I particularly liked the bit about how, if you can resist seeing the whole film as if you're Marie, Floriane's denied attraction to her becomes obvious... 8)


[Difficult though it may be to take one's eyes off l'Acquart when she is onscreen]

It's really interesting there. I read some comments from the top to the down and again I was enriched. Some analytics was really true. :D

Wow. Ediana has really made a study of NdP and made some very astute observations.
Nicely done.

Another reason ( :roll: ) to watch it again. *:)* :P :lol:
