hey thanks for previewing this excellent movie in Penzance – it really cheered me up, especially when i got to pose with your oscar. Any how you did ask for my opinion on the film and as i was so taken aback at this attention i replied “yes lovely” well i feel compelled at first to thank you for your attention and say that yes this is an edgy, dark comedy which is experimental and asks questions with an unpredictable realisation of character, it seems to reference other contempoary literature is that true? You mentionned that your biggest market outside the uk was France. I am fluent in French, which I teach and have an MA in Art and Design HIstory, so if you ever need a hand I am a fan and live in Penzance.
