Earlier this year, Barry from Cinematic Catharsis gave me the first Liebster Award and I was very proud to receive this recognition from one of my peers. Especially, one I admire and see as an excellent blogger/film writer.
Then, on the day of my birthday, the film historian and critic that almost pushed me towards film writings and into the dementia of my cinephilia, Kevyn Knox of The Most Beautiful Fraud in The World awarded me this one. This is a great recognition from one of the first film critic I ever read and still follow since the debuts of his now defunct The Cinematheque.
Admitting that Movie blogging is a tough thing isn’t really a jaw dropping sentence, but I have been struggling to write in English, my mother tongue is French and the commenter: John, Bonjour Tristesse, Chip, Groggy are loyal and keep coming back but I wish that my readership would get wider and more diverse. Receiving an award like this is always a great recognition and it brings huge confidence into my insecure mind. Thank You!
