I tried to post three times last night, but kept getting refused by the captcha test. It does pee me off that this website seems to be designed to make it so difficult to enjoy oneself. OK rant over.
I have had the slight difficulty that the copies of the film that I have bought, both lacked english subtitles, so I know that I have missed some of the fine detail of the script. Nevertheless, I have a few questions to start the discussions.
1 - I have wondered if the whole film is based around a plot by Dora and her boyfriend, to convince Michel that there are supernatural happenings, and persuade thim to name Dora in his will, at which point Michel is killed off. But this does feel a bit too simplistic.
2 - I'm confused about the ghost that appears out of the cupboard, brandishing a knife. I know that Michel is next seen collapsed on the floor, but there is no blood.
3 - There are many references to the supernatural, plus Freudian theory, and sex etc, so I presume that the film is rich in surrealist elements - which usually makes them harder to understand. *wacko*
4 - The appartement does seem to be filled with a huge number of films, videos, books etc - I wonder if we are meant to take some subtle clue from them all (fiction, storytelling, imagination?).
5 - finally for tonight, Michel does seem to deliberately wait for his murderer at the end of the film, as if he knew what was going to happen. It does make it feel more like a section of a dream, rather than real life.
Over to you guys.....*biggrin*
