Boteroesque Babe

Chilling. Well told. Some of the dialogue seemed lifted from this very forum. I saw... parallels. And visible ribs. Would make a good double feature with Fat Girls and Feeders, I'm guessing. I watched it with my hand in a box of Frosty Mini Wheats Strawberry Delight, followed by too many popsicles. I recommend you do something similar. Plot summary from IMDB:
Vittorio is looking for a woman who matches his ideal. Through a classified ad he meets Sonia, a sweet, pleasant, intelligent girl. However, she weighs 125 pounds -- which according to Vittorio is way too much. A goldsmith by trade, Vittorio is obsessed with the desire to shape Sonia's body and mind as does a fire with gold. Almost imperceptibly Sonia becomes a passive participant and the relationship grows into a reciprocal masochistic game. When the two lovers isolate themselves in a country house in the Veneto hills, they dangerously lose touch with reality and the rest of the world.

If you watch it, I'm interested in hearing what you think.
