[edit] Title

I've always been curious about the English translation of the title. Mon Cœur S'est Arrêté means "My heart stopped (itself)", and can't really mean "skipped." The title which is such a clever pun in English, given the subject matter of the film, is actually rather nonsensical in French when you consider the title: "The beat, my heart stopped itself." Does anyone have a source handy on the choice of words in the English subtitles? - Sestet (talk) 18:32, 11 December 2007 (UTC)

Silly me didn't notice the clarification at the bottom. It's still not particularly satisfactory since I think the English title misses something from the French, but eh, it's not like I'm arguing this with the director. Please disregard. - Sestet (talk) 18:36, 11 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Controversy

I've watched the film and I don't remember any instances of domestic sex being portrayed as rape. Jinnentonik 17:59, 6 December 2006 (UTC)

Yeah same here. I'm thinking maybe the person who wrote that is thinking of a different film?WildlifeAnalysis 18:49, 14 January 2007 (UTC)

>>Duris responded to these remarks at a press conference in Milan by threatening Van Sant with physical violence, claiming that he was going to "get a shotgun and murder Van Sant's dog." It looks like a stupid joke. Arronax · talk 02:52, 30 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Another Article with same Title?

"The Beat That My Heart Skipped" is also an upcoming single by Dans Le Sac Vs Scroobius Pip. I have proof, from Zane Lowe's Tracklisting from his section of the BBC Radio1 website. Look three songs or so below 19:00:
