   One man's repetetive is another man's trance-like.

   The film is called _The Line, The Cross, The Curve_ and it is based
on the film and story _The Red Shoes_. We do not know which version of
the story she is basing it on, although it would appear that it is
more "inspired by" rather than "based on."


    And we'd better crush this one *right at the start* - Kate is
*not* going to do a guest shot on Showtime's _The Red Shoe Diaries_.
