In ancient Egyptian mythology, a dead person's soul would be weighed against the feather of truth in a ritual called a psychostasy. If their soul was lighter than the feather, it would ascend into the afterlife. Heavy souls were devoured by Maat, eater of the dead. Good films go to hard drive heaven while the recycle bin eats the rest.

The Beat that My Heart Skipped (2005)
A crime film by Jacques Audiard.
A real estate thug wants to be a concert pianist, like his mother. Meanwhile, his father is involved in the same line of work and while his friend is having affairs with other women, he has an affair with his girlfriend. The main character schedules an audition with a concert promoter and takes piano lessons from a Japanese woman who does not speak his language.
A complex plot, but such is life. The film was in French and the subtitles really flew by quickly. I thought the plot and characters were alright. The style wasn't really up my alley tough. I'm rating it o.k.
