Irony on Valentine's day

Love knows no barriers, love encompasses all…. these are eternal delusions of lovers.
Where there’s social, behavioral disparity, love takes a backseat, or rather a seat at the mental institution. Love is not about acceptance of a person the way they are, it’s about incessantly trying to mold someone into that perception of idealism. And when that does not happen, one just unfeelingly rejects their precious one. Love is a business, not a feeling anymore.
At the Isabelle Huppert film festival, I watched “La dentellière (The Lacemaker)”, where Isabelle brilliantly plays Pomme, a reserved and taciturn hairdresser, who encounters François (Yves Beneyton), who is an affluent student of literature. And then follows, lust, love and heartbreak.
