In honor of Bastille Day....check this out :)

Betty Blue or 37.2 (degrees) la matin (in French) initially premiered in the USA 23 years ago; the same birth year as me! It was too hot for American eyes however and never was properly received. Finally many years later, in its maturation with a Director's Cut, the movie made it back in American cinemas and will be available to rent quite soon, so save it on your Netflix queues! It was the 1987 Best Foreign Film of the Year Nominee for the Academy Awards, the BAFTA's, and the Golden Globes...and while it did not win, it is definately worth viewing.

The film follows Zorg, a man leading a fairly simple and undramatic life, until a wild woman named Betty enters his life and fills it not only with passion...but also with some uncontainable craziness. Check out the trailer...and be glad that you have not met a Betty yet!
