Stumbled on your YouTube perfume channel last night and was immediately struck by your eloquence. You have a gift. Regarding the trio of sibling films connected by a bottle bank – ‘Blue’ left its mark on me. The scene in which Juliet Binoche scrapes her knuckles against a wall while walking in an attempt to feel alive, to feel anything, is etched in my mind.
Thank you so much, Rose. And yes, those films are extremely powerful.
