We went down the rabbit hole with French author duo Boileau-Narcejac.

Never heard of them? Mon dieu! 😱 But you've heard of Vertigo, Hitchcock's famous movie .. right?

Well, that's based on a story by Boileau-Narcejac. So we re-watched Vertigo (1958). Great stuff. And old Hitch actually stuck pretty closely to the novel's storyline. B&N's trademark was a tight meshing of psychology (obsession and delusion in particular) with hard-boiled crime fiction, with just a soupçon of horror for a truly fiendish blend.

After that we naturellement had to watch the other great adaptation of a Boileau-Narcejac novel: Les Diaboliques (1955)!

None of the English title translations ever seem to quite hit that spot (Fiends comes closest), so Diabolique or Les Diaboliques it stays.

We spent hours the next day dissecting the movie. You can watch it as a straight-up thriller - or you can absorb everything Clouzot shows us. Starting with the very early shot of an old Citroen van driving through a puddle, focus on the tire flattening a child's folded paper boat into the mud.

There are many scenes about life in the boarding school, including the dopey misfits that pass for teaching staff. You may think that this is all extra baggage - but once you've reached the ending (what an ending!), wind back and consider how tightly each little 'flavour' scene helps underpin and enrich the story's driving force.

A note about the actors. Simone Signoret (on right) is always rightly acclaimed for her role. But to me, the actor who is the heart (literally - she has a serious heart condition) of this tragic tale is Véra Clouzot, the wife of director Clouzot.

Véra Clouzot starred in 3 of her husband's movies. She died young - aged 46 - in 1960, from a heart attack.

Her portrayal as the girlish, deeply religious wife of her schoolmaster husband is nothing short of revelatory.

A side note: Charles Vanel Plays the bumbling, retired police detective who reportedly served as the inspiration for Columbo. https://www.rogerebert.com/reviews/diabolique-1995

Les Diaboliques is available on YouTube in a quality transfer with closed caption English subtitles.

Harm Reduction Eating Disorder-Edition

The following post might be triggering, altough not intended. This list is a collection of my own tips, tips I found on tumblr and tips my doctors and therapists told me:

Always carry something with actual sugar in it with you. No, not a zero sugar candy but something with glucose. Take it if you feel dizzy/ feel like you are about to pass out.

Eat if you want to drive/ride! Doesn’t matter if you wanna go somewhere by car or by bicycle. You are putting yourself and others at risk! Don’t. Do. It. If you don’t wanna break your fast ask someone else to get you there or take the bus. If you really need to get there by your own you should eat s o m e t h i n g. Maybe your safe food or some fruit.

Don’t trust people that claim to be a coach! Someone who suffers from an eating disorder would never share tips to destroy yourself! Most of them are old man that try to get your nudes. Never ever send them pictures or give them personal information. If you need to vent or you need something just text me and I will listen.

You don’t need to restrict like crazy in order to lose weight. Check out your basal metabolic rate. This is the amount of calories your body burns by simply existing, like laying in bed all day and not moving an inch. You should not eat less than your basal metabolic rate.

If you are a minor, don’t tell anyone. Don’t put your age in your description. There are creepy people out here that are looking out for young girls that way.

I know going to the toilet can be a tough situation when you suffer from an eating disorder. Instead of using laxatives try out natural apple-juice or plum-juice, maybe even some dry fruits. You can also try out flaxseeds (drink water with it!) or maybe you want to take some magnesium.

You should take vitamins/ go to the doctor to check your vitamin levels.

That one is well known, but I want to mention that you shouldn’t brush your teeth after purging. Drink water or milk and wait 30-60 minutes before you brush your teeth. If you struggle with bulimia you should also invest into a good toothpaste and go to the dentist on a regular basis.

Don’t count calories when you binge. You will only make yourself feel bad by doing that. It is not helping you at all. Drink water or tea and lay down. If your tummy hurts you should put a pillow or something like that underneath your legs. This position will help your belly to relax.

Don’t go ‘all or nothing’. If you binged take some time to rest until you get better. Don’t go in even harder, because you think your day is already ruined. Don’t eat another bag of potato chips because “it doesn’t matter anymore and you already fucked up”. The brain is like a field. Everytime you binge you are leaving a trail. The more often you use this trail, the more wide beaten it will become. If you stop using the trail, grass will overgrow this path and it will be easier to make new, healthy habits. One day you will not even be able to tell where the path was. With that said, every single time you refuse to binge, you refuse to give in because “you already messed up” it will get easier to resist the next time you feel the cravings kick in.
