New Profile Picture

Béatrice Dalle as Betty in Betty Blue 

My new profile picture (inserted above) is from the 1986 French erotic psychological drama film, Betty Blue (37°2 le matin). Directed by Jean-Hacques Beineix, the film is based on the 1985 novel 37°2 le matin by Philippe Djian. The film stars Béatrice Dalle and Jean-Hugues Anglade. It was the eighth highest-grossing film of 1986 in France.

The film received both a BAFTA and Oscar nomination for Best Foreign Language Film in 1986 after its French release on 9 April 1986 with a running time of 120 minutes tells the story of a young woman whose passionate affair with handyman and would-be writer inexorably drifts towards tragedy as she becomes increasingly unbalanced.
