Forbidden Games

So glad that it's finally Friday! I can't wait to go to bed early and sleep in somewhat! I don't know why this week felt so long even though it was so short. The antibiotics I'm on give me really bad insomnia, and I haven't been sleeping really well. Do any of you have insomnia? Sometimes I get like, fixated on some weird thought that stresses me out and I can't let go of, which makes it impossible for me to sleep. Last night I started obsessing over the DVDs of Shoah that I bought, panicking that they were not in English (they're imported with several language tracks). I almost got out of bed at 3am to play one of them just so I could calm down!

Today I watched Forbidden Games, directed by Rene Clement in 1952. It's pretty short, and I guess had a lot of difficulties in the production, so it's not the most perfect looking film. It's a great film, though. It really uses a unique perspective to tell a very interesting story. It's sort of disturbing, but mostly just amazing. I didn't think I would really like the film, and I was worried it would be horribly depressing, but it was great.
