Since you are willing to dig deeper into that subject, I would strongly recommend that you find that lecture and read it - it is extremely interesting. I believe it was one of the lectures on literature he gave in American, but I could check on that for more detail maybe over today's lunch break.

Anyway, indeed this is a very common and powerful word in Russian locution, and I miss not having it here. Often I am surprised it doesn't exist, as the need for it IS there.

But going back to the film, I don't feel like repeating the same arguments, and as I said, I was predisposed to like it. But its means were primitive and oversimplified. The subject of obsession is as old as the world itself, and there have been many wonderful films dealing with it in the world cinema.
