Not all American movies are crap. In the last ten years there were some good ones:
"American Beauty" "Brokeback Mountain" "Revolutionary Road" "Shame" "Little Miss Sunshine" Joanna ----- Original Message ----- Subject: [Pen-l] Elena >A Russian New Wave film. > > http://louisproyect.wordpress.com/2012/05/15/elena/ --------------- I found a link through the above that had all of The Return on it 1/11-11/11. Another wow movie. You really begin to see how emotionally dishonest and censored US films have become, probably always were. The Return has a strong element of mystery that stays and is never really resolved. It just ends. And in the long closing scenes, you get the feeling that none of it happened. In a sense the movie erases itself. I kept on hoping it would turn out okay. The story line is simple. After twelve years a missing father returns to a family made up of his wife, her mother, and two young teenage boys. After a day or so, the father decides to take a trip with the boys to go fishing. At some point it is unclear why and there are hints that the fishing is a pretext for some other reason. He never explains why he was gone or why he came back. It's probably a movie you have to see several times to figure out, because the clues are all retroactive, thinking back on some unexplained scene or circumstance.
