The NYT review of this is on point including: "Marina insists on her own dignity — her basic rights to respect, safety and the pursuit of pleasure — in the face of condescension, indifference and contempt." The lead [she basically carries the film though the man she loves shines in his limited playing time] deserved a nomination herself. Nice to see Angelika again.
And Also: Housing Works shop nearby. Library too but closed early with the snow muck. Also, really liked film but perhaps small demerit as to mostly one note supporting cast -- great movies tend to have multiple very good roles. Again, she mostly carried film.
Various thoughts on current events with an emphasis on politics, legal issues, books, movies and whatever is on my mind. Emails can be sent to almostsanejoe@aol.com; please put "blog comments" in the subject line.
