Thank!

xiu xiu crushing....well done, very emotionally draining for me. the actress was amazing, what dramatic changes she made from virgin to slut. I'm amazed also that China even let this movie be made.

Eight Days was another difficult one for me because I have a child with autism. Well done but hit too close to home.

There was an Indian movie about a a bride and her mother in law falling in love....Fire
(hmmmmm can't remember the name) is very realistic in the way I've seen Indian women treated.

Thumbs up

I just finished watching A Chef In Love and I was really moved by this film. What a passion for food, such a dedication to his restaurant Pascal had. I also loved how the kitchen was laid out with the different work stations sectioned off, and the bed against the wall. Imagine a bed to rest on in your kitchen! The health inspector would never go for that.

Thanks for all the great suggestions! Here is one for you, Island on Bird Street. Another holocaust film, but with a really great Robinson Curosoe twist.

SISI xiu xiu ....during Mao teenagers were sent into the remote areas to work. This child (13-14) was sent to live with a horse herder and it detailed her demise in trying to get home.
Nicko...Chef in Love is absolutely one of my favorites, it is one of the few I've watched more than once. It's true, great chefs make great lovers....passion and attention to detail.

I would have to say Shindlers List, I was scared to see it in the movies because of how I would react, I rented it and watched it with my wife, I am Jewish,And lost many Members of my family in auszwvitz and sobebor.I was filled with so much emoution during that film. I will never forget the little girl In the red dress
