RE: (EN) A FILM POEM : WILL YOU CUM?
"King of Hearts," with Alan Bates and Genevieve Bujold, is another of my favorite films, another brilliant anti-war film, and another filmed by a French director.
I was heartened to see that it is still being lauded, and in my home town paper, too!

Both Alan Bates and Genevieve Bujold were favorite actors of mine growing up. Both had amazing careers, and were in a large percentage of my favorite films.
My single favorite film with Bates, the brilliant and underrated "Whistle Down the Wind," with a very young Hayley Mills as protagonist. As the "Movies on TV" book once pronounced, "An almost perfect film," with which I must agree. Profound and immensely moving.
And he was in SO many more great films, with always stellar performances on his part. "Women in Love, "An Unmarried Woman," and on and on.
Same with Bujold. From "Anne of the Thousand Days," to "Swashbuckler," to "Coma," and many more, she was always a top-notch performer.
