Two fascinating films - both having to do with women...
Clouds of Sils Maria link....A study in actors, acting, theater and films, but mostly about women and their relationship sixth sense...A mystery to most men, women seem to be able to 'know' what is going on emotionally - like they are living and reacting in another dimension...Very well done and thought provoking!
Gett link an Israeli film about a woman attempting to get a divorce...
Written and directed by the lead actress and her brother, it is a taut and fascinating study about marriage, love, family, tradition, etc.
The ending or climax is enigmatic...What the hell happened..The 'extras' interview reveals the secret.

Films 15/08/26
Once again, I saw 3 interesting, worthwhile films this weekend..
'Deli Man' link is a doc about Ziggy Gruber - the deli man...80 or more years ago there were more than 20,000 Jewish delis in the USA...Today there are only a few hundred left....A heartwarming film.
'Slow West' link is a kind of poetic Western, shot in New Zealand by a Scottish director...It seemingly exposes the cruelty and bestiality of the inhabitants....A young Scottish lad (of higher birth), is attempting to find his 'true love' who is on the lam, and hiding out....He is tracked by bounty hunters who want to kill her for the money...Hint: everyone in the cast except 2 die in shoot outs...Still it is a very interesting film.
'Merchants of Doubt' link is a doc about who and what interests are behind the casting of doubt about scientific evidence of Climate Change, etc.....Very taut and revealing!
