Oct. 23rd, 2010 07:45 amSo apparently I've been watching trilingual movies now?
Free Zone starts with a woman crying in the back of a car for several minutes. It gets better, though. Later, there's a story told by one character to another that seems like the movie was made to tell that story. Then the movie sort of thrashes about for an ending, & ends with the realization that resolution is not coming quickly for all of us, but others of us can at least leave.
Somewhat more conventional, The Band's Visit is a melancholy little film, with rudeness from a beautiful woman, an amusing lesson in dating, & some music, both Arabic & Western. It is to some degree about loneliness in particular, & melancholy in general.
Both pretty interesting. I think on balance I may like Free Zone better.
