No, I saw Repulsion, Roman Polanski 1965. I was hoping Catherine Deneueve would commit suicide before I did, and that was on "fast play." It was like watching dried paint crack.

Oh, yes: I saw The Class, written, produced by, and starring a French French teacher in France, based on his real life story, as a psuedo-documentary. No action, almost entirely inside the classroom, quite compelling all the way through and lingers on.

And Sugar, Everyman's tale of inspiration, striving, and The Results, told by a Dominican Republic baseball player who makes the minor leagues.

Which is much like The Wrestler, best I've seen in a long while.
