i have indeed read the book and seen the film
and to tell you the truth, i found the film absolutely hilarious,
particularly the end which was a tad different to kafka's original version
(let's just say josef k & dynamite didn't mix too well).
but what i really wanted to know was: that music, you'll know what i mean
if you've seen the film... what is it? it's a really famous piece, but
i've forgotten who it's by, what it is etc, and it's been bugging me since
i saw the film. any clues?
another picnic memory: after our impromptu rendition of mayfly, just
before popping down to the pub, this chappy came up to a group of us and
said 'you're belle and sebastian yeah, could you sign this for me', and
produced a copy of 'if your felling sinister..' on vinyl. sorry, i just
found that rather funny... had to disappoint him - shame really, but i'd
have felt too guilty signing it, even though it'd probably have made him
happier.
ah well, down the pub
