in L'avventura the tension dissipates and the story keeps going. There is no solution, because what we are watching is not a mystery.

That sounds very cool. Sort of reminds me of Picnic at Hanging Rock (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Picnic_at_Hanging_Rock_%28film%29)--it's something I loved about Picnic at Hanging Rock. I'lll have to see L'avventura.

It may have been displaced by A Canterbury Tale. Whatever that tells you about me.

I've decided it means you have a glue fetish.

The Criterion DVD wins no points with me, however: its translation was actually less comprehensive and less accurate than the original English subtitles.

Ack, that really sucks.

So whose edition do I wait for now . . . ?

When Criterion does a new edition of a foreign film, they often times improve the subtitles. That's one of the reasons I've been itching to get the new Criterion edition of Seven Samurai, even though my old copy is also Criterion. I actually really don't like the way some of the lines are translated in the old edition, especially some of the last lines.

. . . and now I kind of want to know what happens next. I wonder if this counts as fanfiction.

But, my dear Grand Poobah, didn't Alexia of Tresbizond believe she was Alexander the Great? How did you gain entrance to the tower whence her family long ago locked her away?
