i am not dexterous when it comes to following what’s fashionable. i am into flea markets, retro dance clubs, old book stores, old towns, and older people. There is a certain sophistication, a darkness, an edge that draws me in. Two years after the film, I find myself strangely attached to both the book and the movie- The Jane Austen Book Club..

Here’s a song in the soundtrack that I adore: (you probably have heard this song in AMELIE (below) which incidentally makes the top 10 of my all-time favourite movies list)

lyrics….

You look like a perfect fit
For a girl in need of a tourniquet

But can you save me
Come on and save me
If you could save me
From the ranks of the freaks
Who suspect they could never love anyone

‘Cause I can tell
You know what it’s like
The long farewell of the hunger strike

But can you save me
Come on and save me
If you could save me
From the ranks of the freaks
Who suspect they could never love anyone

You struck me dumb like radium
Like Peter Pan or Superman

You will come to save me
C’mon and save me
If you could save me
From the ranks of the freaks
Who suspect they could never love anyone
‘Cept the freaks
Who suspect they could never love anyone
But the freaks
Who suspect they could never love anyone

C’mon and save me
Why don’t you save me
If you could save me
From the ranks of the freaks
Who suspect they could never love anyone

Except the freaks
Who suspect they could never love anyone
Except the freaks who could never love anyone
