Viewing Notes
For my FF2010 second film for day 3 on Saturday I went with Szabolcs Hajdu’s film Bibliothèque Pascal (2010), which reads like a Fantastic Fest flick but would play better to the arthouse crowd. Challenging watch about a Romanian mother retelling her story of how she ended up at a child welfare office to regain her daughter who dreams visually. Also includes the final sequence where the mother is a literature sex slave in London. Weird, right? Not a terrible film by any stretch but didn’t get a Fantastic Fest vibe from it (a few people walked out).
