But that is far from apparent compared to how everybody else speaks, in this film, or others, by other directors, even. Art tends to be a bit weird, sometimes. But one has to have the courage to see the humor in it. And not let the strangeness put one off.<\/p>\n<p>Even when the subject matter is grave and the author is sincere, there is room for humor. If only because we recognize our own often silly behavior in some of the things we see on the screen.<\/p>\n<p>I chose this fragment because it features two people sitting at a table. And while their conversation is fairly logical \u2014as opposed to sometimes in <em>Bient\u00f4t l&#8217;\u00e9t\u00e9<\/em>\u2014 there is a strange feeling of things not being said.
