This song by Keane was featured in a French film called ‘LOL’ which Kerry and I watched one evening when we were trying to improve our conversational French. One of Kerry’s French friends (who was working as a nanny over in Essex) lent her the DVD as an example of a contemporary French film and we thought we’d watch the video and see how much of the language (and the plot) we understood.
I love France and the French who are so wonderfully relaxed about everything and this film about a teenage girl’s rites of passage and her mother’s coming to terms with her divorce was very entertaining, especially the bit where the kids came over to England on the Ferry and the wonderful ideas that French film directors have about the way we live! The film featured ‘Somewhere Only We Know’ and ‘You Can’t Always Get What You Want’ by the Stones a number of times, which acted as a timely reminder of what great songs these are and why I should have them on my ipod.
I understand that the Americans are making a version of ‘LOL’ with Miley Syrus as Lola and Demi Moore as her mother and wonder what that will be like…I can’t wait!
