For lack of a better summary - j'aime foutaises

I think everybody should try at least once every decade to make a list of likes and dislikes. The result can really be of use in deciding what the next step should be, in this case I believe it defines the author quite well. It's like a canvas, and contains elements which the author will use in his future work(Delicatessen for instance). The short film will carry you thru his memories, likes and dislikes, ties to his homeland and culture but also irony, but most important it's an intimate thought. All this in 7 minutes. It will open the gateway to your own thoughts and emotions, with this simple, universal truth: - we are canvases ourselves, and the outer world casts a reflection upon us, molding us.
