Last night I watched a DVD of another French movie called (in translation) I've Loved You So Long. It was a very powerful but slow moving story about a woman doctor who gets out of prison for murder after 15 years and is reunited with her sister. She is very reluctant to talk about herself and has trouble integrating back into normal life. It is not until the end of the movie that it is revealed that she killed her six year old son to relieve him from his suffering from an incurable disease. I probably should not reveal the plot this way, but I doubt any of you will see this movie anyway, so it will do no harm. In the middle of the movie I was thinking I would give it three stars, but by the end I decided to give it four stars.
