<br>The Caller really is a pretty good movie, it's one of those that lingers in the mind with a really nice aftertaste, I think. I think I want to own a copy.<br><br>You might call it Pynchonesque, in that people who want straightforward exposition will be impatient with it.<br>
And what seemed to me like a fine and delicate series of emotional resonances (including the copies of V. on the bookseller's table) seems by most of the reviews and comments on the web to have been missed and misinterpreted as polemics and ham-handed manipulation...<br>
<br>Also, one of the writers is Alain Didier-Weill, who studied with Lacan. I read somewhere that the movie was based on a French novel, but have been unable to find if that's true. But Monsieur Weill seems to have credits both in show business and psychoanalysis.<br>
