Foreign Films



While staying in bed so much lately, I have been so glad to have my laptop to not only keep me connected to friends and family by email and Facebook, but I can also stream movies from Netflix. In the past few days I have watched three foreign films - none outstanding, but interesting to varying degrees. The funniest, for sure, is the Russian sex comedy (imagine that one!) called Absurdistan. Ushpizin is about an Orthodox Jewish couple who entertain unexpected visitors during Sukkot, and the Japanese film, Akira Kurosawa's Dreams, is a series of short stories about man's relationship with the environment, but I didn't find them "enchanting" as the blurb suggested - merely strange.
