Now I am intrigued. I am going to go back to the beginning and I will be sure to give you the best feedback I can about having done a timey wimey thing on you and not started at the beginning. Usually I'm pretty good at picking up on the tiny details that come up later, so I know I'll end up reading this one again, too.
I have a thing for European movies precisely because they don't do the Hollywood happy ending. Spoorloos (the original version of The Vanishing) is the perfect example; by having the guy save the girl in the Hollywood version they completely miss the point of the film, which is about obsession. Jean de Florette is also a classic, funnily also about jealousy and obsession. Man Bites Dog was a film that I only needed to see once; but it left its mark.
I am a lover of a well told tale. And I love LJ because I get to give feedback. All I need now is a 28 hour day.
