His movies were important to me when I was younger, and they are important to me still. www.criterion.com/current/post...criterion.comThree Films by Leos Carax: Vital SignsWith their mix of comedy, ecstasy, and aesthetic strangeness, the French auteur’s first three features grant us access to psychic states that we might not otherwise be able to enter. 182

KM’s life is so meticulously researched & beautifully told by Kimber that I couldn’t put the book down. I feel I “know” KM much better than I ever did before. 192
