Film Review: Lemming

I've been to the french film festival. Melbourne readers would note that it ends on Wednesday.

So, on with the review...

Lemming:
A romantic thriller about fidelity, seduction and identity. Alain works in computers(!) He finds a dream job in an R&D company and is forced to move to a new city (sound familiar?) His boss is an amiable chap and so is invited around for dinner. That's were all the fun starts. 'Lemmings', you might remember, was a computer game popular in the early '90s about a cute furry species that kept dropping off cliffs and dying. This film explores our parallels with the little creatures. What drives a seemingly happy beingin idyllic surrounds to self-harm? French with English subtitles. 4.5/5

    Don't go dropping off cliffs!!
    We miss you. Dad is going to have to mow the lawn soon!!
    I've forwarded a letter from Cathy & Quin to your work address. Would you prefer me to send mail on to the hostel rather than work? - If so you'll need to give us the hostel name & address. I gather you are finding it OK to stay there - likely to meet more people there than in a flat or boarding.
