| | English translation:dark side | Explanation:
I would say it is a clear reference to « le côté obscure de la Force » from Star Wars.
Can't help thinking, though, that it is the dark side of the problem, rather than of his failure (is it indeed his failure at all? or the failure of something else...?) |
