Did you see a unicorn?

I wanted to watch this film, because I got the impression this might be a critique about feminism, bonus was that this is a (very loose) adaption of Alice in Wonderland, which goes well with my previous film, alas it's really none of these. Nope, it's just a surreal French art-house flick about a girls journey into puberty, which is fairly obvious, the battle of the sexes, the unicorn, the symbolism...

I Love You, I Don't (Je t'aime moi non plus)

If there is anything more repellant and repulsive to me than Serge Gainsbourg’s bistered, apish face and Franco-Semitic hyper-aberros

One Woman's Lover

Only a film directed by an innately iconoclastic Italian auteur could manage to include such a cinematically chaotic combination
