I loved The Sea Inside as well, but I wouldn't say it was better - it had a different focus. This one was somehow able to put us inside the experience of someone who could hardly communicate. Fascinating. The fact that he was a former playboy and fashion magazine editor added a whole different layer. I dragged my husband to this - he was pleasantly surprised.

Maybe reading the book would help. Writing the book was an amazing accomplishment. There were images in the film that evoked more than words could say about how much we take for granted when we've got all our faculties. Maybe Von Sydow's role was to have us think the main character cared about more than just the shallow world of fashion in which he worked. True, "The Sea Inside" was probably a better film but I liked both (and I'm not the type who goes for sappy "disease of the week" films) Oh come now! Maybe reading the book would help.

The man was a creep.Is it a French thing that such a jerk holds a fascination for Frenchwomen that they put up with all sorts of abuse and yet cater to his every whim?
