A documentary on the holocaust :(
It is far better for the truth to tear my flesh to pieces, then for my soul to wander through darkness in eternal damnation.

Jet: So what kind of woman is she? What's Julia like?
Faye: Ordinary. The kind of beautiful, dangerous ordinary that you just can't leave alone.
Jet: I see.
Faye: Like an angel from the underworld. Or a devil from Paradise.

Caramel.  Lebanese chicks working at a beauty salon grapple with life issues.  One's getting married but needs to get her pita sewn up so her husband will think she's a virgin.  One's banging a married man who always blows her off.  One seems like she might be a lesbo but nothing ever happens with that plot line.  A friend of theirs is an over the hill model/actress who gets dumped by her husband.  Only real hottie is the one banging the married dude.  A little tubby in the middle but a killer face.

It was funky to hear Hail Mary done in Arabic.

Bodas de Sangre, minimalist film semi-adaptation, really a flamenco semi-ballet.  Really beautiful in parts.  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e5JuKHILXww That really caught me off guard, beautiful. 

Also, if anyone can tell the difference between Andalusians and Arabs without the language or the hijab is a genius.

If you liked 'Bodas de Sangre', then watch 'Carmen' and 'El Amor Brujo', also flamenco semi-ballets from Carlos Saura.

And regarding Andalusians/Arabs, Arabs almost always have moustaches and beards, Andalusians rarely do. Other than that...

I am, somehow, less interested in the weight and convolutions of Einstein's brain than in the near certainty that people of equal talent have lived and died in cotton fields and sweatshops.

You mean Polish hooligans should have been killed, too?

Well, I don't know about "should have" but that was the objective, wasn't it? :P

The Wind Blows Round.

An Italian movie, with subtitles.  The plot was good in theory, but shallow in execution.

The 1939 French film The Rules of the Game

Excellent film. I can see why it ranks so high on so many best film lists. I get the feeling I'll have to watch it once or twice more to really appreciate everything that's going on.

The Damned United. Film about Brian Clough's time as manager of Derby County and Leeds United.
It was very good. Great acting by Michael Sheen and Colm Meaney.

I've got to get around to seeing this soon.  If you can find it, Renoir's La Marseillaise is a pretty good leftist drama of the French Revolution, made in the waning days of the Popular Front.
