In the name of a Legend

First of all, I want to tell you again that I'm very sorry for being offline for two days.
I think, most of my followers guessed that I could not miss the Oscar ceremony. I was actually making a huge Oscar winners review when bad news came.

French actress and 1950s cinematic icon Annie Girardot died peacefully in Paris on Monday after a long battle with Alzheimer's disease, her family said. She was 79.
I will not tell much, but this is a big loss for me and for the world of cinema. This is why I decided not to publish my Oscar thoughts and devote totady's post to this great woman's memory.
My todays recommendation is a wonderful masterpiece I watched about three years ago. Unfortunately I don't know about English version as I watched it with subtitles, but I recommend you to do your best and watch this film.
