City of God - fantastic film - extremely vibrant, shocking, watchable.
The Barbarian Invasions - The first Denys Arcand film I’ve seen. It’s a thoughtful take on globalisation, death and change - moving and perceptive but it didn’t really ring my bell. It has prompted me to look out for Jesus of Montreal.
Lost in La Mancha - great doco about Terry Gillaim’s (Monty Python and the Holy Grail, The Fisher King, Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas among others) attempt to make a film about Don Quixote. Everything goes wrong, a great insight into certain facets of how a picture is made.
Belleville Rendezvous - a creepy animated feature in French. Beautifully drawn, but, well, kinda creepy.
