It's about an upper class woman who has an affair with a game keeper. Though thats simplifying it of course. To be honest it was ruined for me by the fast its to firmly associated with a terrible tv adaptation in my head. That aside its not a bad book. Thought its not something I would have bought normally to read. Oh and my mother was "shocked and appalled" that I had it, probably due to the banning and all the sex and language.

I just finished reading The Beautiful Things that Heaven Bears by Dinaw Mengestu for college.

Yeah it's quite high on the sex front and at the time it was considered very graphic. It might not be by today's standards though! I don't have much to compare it to. :shy:
I don't know that much about the guy to be honest!

It is yes, it's from the french horror film A l'intérieur.

I didn't know that. While I have read Edgar Allan Poe and do like him you kind of have to insult the Manics before I feel like that. :shy: That said it depends on what he said too.

Just be prepared for very graphic/gory content, especially during the ending. I thought Japanese horrors were disturbing, but then my friends showed me this "New French Extremism" stuff. Totally messed up. Now you can't say no one warned you, haha.

Ah bring it on, I've had my sense dulled over the years!
Think there was only 2 films I have ever switched off actually.
Seed (a horror) because it was tastless.
Idi i smotri (come and see) because it was too upsetting (holocaust).

What did D.H. Lawrence say about Poe?
Lawrence was never vulgar or "twisted" in his writings, he portrayed sex and sexuality in a natural and some could argue poetic way.....it was in no way pornographic............the themes of his other works varied but mostly revolved around human relationships........and a good thing to look for in them is the psychology of the characters which he most consciously tried to portray.

Hmm Betty Blue was the last book I bought.
I found the film through liking Béatrice Dalle too, she's also in Trouble Every Day.
French horror is pretty much the only horror I know anything about...
