Me, too.

To a certain extent, I believe its unusual angle--a sexy, well-reviewed three-hour lesbian drama--will help it on the art-house circuit. It will turn heads and become an event among a certain movie-going set.

That much was confirmed when Léa Seydoux and Adèle Exarchopoulos sat down to discuss the film with The Daily Beast’s Marlow Stern. “It’s hard because I’m not that familiar with lesbian sex,” Exarchopoulos said about the big scene, which Seydoux noted took 10 days to complete. The entire shoot was similarly exhausting: Of the scene where the two girls first encounter each other, Seydoux estimated that the 30-second meeting took more than 100 takes to satisfy director Abdellatif Kechiche. When the two giggled after one take, Seydoux said Kechiche threw a set monitor onto the street, screaming, “I can’t work under these conditions!” The actresses really hit each other during a scene (“In America, we’d all be in jail,” Seydoux said), and though Kechiche is a “tortured” “genius” and Exarchopoulos found working with him “a good learning experience” as an actor, it’s no surprise both actresses said they would probably never work with him again.

But this kind of publicity is negative, IMO. I wouldn't want this to taint people's opinions of the film.

Who wants to see naked French women?

I think an opening PTA to Amour is okish though I somehow feel this will open a bit lower. It might have to rely on WOM to get past $1m mark IMO.

I was actually expecting about a $22,000 PSA.
