	Wild Grass by George Sax
	“Anything is possible after the movies,” says Georges (André Dussollier), the male protagonist in Alain Resnais’ Wild Grass.

Actually, it’s been a disappointment, he admits. This is surely a common response among those who revisit old movies that endure as hallowed memories.

But she was referring to star Helen Mirren and her husband Taylor Hackford, who directed this movie.
