Thanks for the info on Charlotte Gainsbourg. I think I have Serge
Gainsbourg's "Je t'aime" on a French compilation CD somewhere so I know who
you mean. I haven't heard of "The Cement Garden" but I'll be on the lookout
for it now. It's hard for me to think of any actress who could play Patti
in a film but it's an interesting idea to speculate about.

-quite the same look, but definitely seems to have that fire.
