Martyrs Watch -- The End Is Nigh

A little over a month left before I finally see this nasty, subversive little French ditty. Been close to a year now that I've been anxiously, impatiently twiddling my thumbs and reading polarized review after reaction. Weeks of checking the Film Society of Lincoln Center's website to check if this would be playing at their annual "Rendezvous with French Cinema" series (just as Inside and Frontiers did last year) proved useless once the playlist was released and not one horror flick was included, let alone this. Reality settled in, and it became obvious that I'd never get to see this on a big screen, which blows but I'll live.
