I've Loved you So Long - totally agree. Hugely moving and the french girl who played her sister was really first class also.
Very rarely watch any of the crash bang wallop crap from Hollywood that passes for movies these days, for years in fact. French, Spanish, German, Korean, new European and Japanese mostly. I'm lucky that the Arts Cinema in Cambridge has a proud tradition of concentrating on world cinema, otherwise I'd only see films on DVD.Quote:

Late night screenings at the Arts Cinema was my early education in great filmmaking. Glad to hear it is still going strong. Sadly these days I DO watch most of my movies on DVD. Awaiting arrival of a box of some fifty new European films from the EFA real soon. My onerous task is helping choose best european film of the year.
Onerous? Lucky bastard, more like. Need any help???Quote:

Not that I'm trying to influence you in any way, old chap.
Yet to see Potiche.... a great flm, if it's finally released here, is The Double Hour. And a wonderful european documentary Armadillo which follows a Danish unit in Helmand province. Compelling for grim.
