Merlot in Seattle
I went to 911media arts center screening last night and showed Merlot.
Eric wrote a review of the event and sums it up nicely. http://imtheonebehindthecamera.blogspot.com/2005/12/mon-couer-screening-part-deux.html
I always enjoy the frustrated reaction of someone who has only seen Merlot once. By the third time they have seen it a sense of peace comes over them. The whole “I get it now”.

Alas I ran out of time and wasn't able to squeeze in the screening. Sounds like it went alright. Here's to many more screenings!
Also, were you expecting (or did you plan) on people being so confused upon seeing Merlot the first time through? Also, do you expect many of those folks will want to see it again (without reading your rundown of all the symbolism of course, just seeing it of their own volition)?
What can I say I love movies like Brazil, 12 monkeys, Jacobs Ladder and Bladerunner. I want people to be confused and intrigued. Unfortunatly I have to learn this type of storytelling on shorts where someone may only get to see it once. My hope is people want to see it again to figure it out.
