French import ruins it for everyone

“Oh, The Brotherhood of the Wolf?” said my friend, “That was out in France about a year ago.” Having spent the semester abroad, she had been in Paris to witness first-hand the sensation that surrounded this film. I had already formulated my opinion, and was desperate to draw out of my friend how the French?and if I am to believe the trailers that tout this film as the most momentous thing to hit the Old World since the Bubonic Plague, all of Europe, too?came to theirs.

Dana Dixx. Even now the name gives me pause. It skates across my tongue like a youthful Brian Boitano then passes through my lips, which close after it like a parting kiss while its sweet sound lingers in my ear?which was more or less all she left me with when it was over, just a pretty name and the face to match.
