Well I saw this on TV a few years back (that being the first time I
had ever heard of Julie Delpy). Then I thought it was one of the most
magical films about young romance I had ever seen; which is not
something that usually appeals to a grumpy old git like me. In fact
for weeks later I used to ride up and down on the Piccadilly Line
hoping ......... (oh lets not go there).

Anyway as is often the case with foreign films, I forgot completely
what it was called (never thought to look up Delpy on IMBD). Anyway
thanks for reminding me, and I shall be looking out for the sequel as
well as hopefully a screening of the original.
