Chacun cherche son chat

Chacun cherche son chat is a french film that caught my eye in grade 11 while I was at Blockbuster renting the original A Streetcar Named Desire with Marlon Brando and Vivien Leigh for an English assignment. I studied and recited the monologue ("crumble and fade and - regrets - recriminations") of Blanche DuBois before she proposes to Mitch then screams "Fire" in her insanity. Yep, I even used a mock Southern accent which I cringe to think about now..

Chacun cherche son chat (When the cat's away) is a film I am often reminded of for its conclusion. Its a story about searching for her cat, which then becomes a metaphor into what she is "searching for" and where she finds it. As Chloe discovered, sometimes searching in the hardest to reach places won't get you any closer to the answers, and the answers were never so hard to find to begin with.

Lets dance in style, lets dance for a while

Heaven can wait we’re only watching the skies
Hoping for the best but expecting the worst
Are you going to drop the bomb or not?

Let us die young or let us live forever
We don’t have the power but we never say never...

I know this song could be called cheesey, but i have been hearing it on the OC (just one of the other mini series I'm addicted to) and on the radio. Forever Young by Alphaville released in 1982 - something about it makes me sad, which is a lot more than the 90's techno remix did for me.
