Sometimes I wish I could watch this movie for the first time again.  It really, truly changed my life. I watched it nine times in this little arthouse theater in Seattle.  I remember trudging through the puddles from the bus stop in my long brown plaid coat, buying my ticket from the little window and then walking on that silent, thick, burgundy carpet to my seat with such joy at the prospect of spending my afternoon in dreamy, Parisian bliss.  

WARNING: this little video is filled with spoilers so if you haven't seen it yet, please close this window, open up your movie-viewing-mode of choice and watch it.

And, by the way, one of the very best things in the whole world of knowing how to play the piano is being able to play all the songs from this soundtrack.

Okay, how completely adorable and marvelous does this film look?

I must see it. It's currently not showing anywhere nearby but I'm holding out hope it makes an appearance somewhere in Central Florida soon!

And the last scene is my favorite!

P.S. Feel free to follow me! I promise only ever to lead you to bright, sunny places!

P.P.S. I have a brand, new original album out! If you download it and looooove it, please write a lovely review on the site from which you purchased it!
