Anyone see on TV the French film titled, "Post coitum, omne animal
triste?" (Yes, I recall the long thread that saying resulted in some
time ago). The film didn't seem like much, to this naive film watcher,
though the leading lady (?) does demonstrate sadness over a torrid
affair coming to an end...so much so that on a trip to Lesbos she leaps
of the same cliff Sappho did (but survives as a later prophesy had
stipulated leaping lovers would due to a promise by Apollo, etc., etc.)
Only worth mentioning because of the classical apparatus alluded to.
