Les invasions barbares (2003)
Profoundly moving. One of the year's best movies.
This is a stunningly moving movie with no hint of sentimentality. It is also funny and irreverent. And very redemptive. The characters are flawed but wonderful. The best movie I've seen in a very long time. If you saw The Decline of the American Empire (same director, same characters 20 years earlier), do not lump these 2 movies together. They are entirely different experiences. You could detest that movie and adore this one. It has my vote for best film at the Academy Awards. Not to be missed!
Love, Sex and Eating the Bones (2003)
It's a smart, fresh and funny romantic comedy (with a dumb title).
This is a movie for everyone. You'll walk out with a smile on your face, but it's not your typical dumb, cheap, formula, romantic comedy. OK OK it has a mostly black cast, but it's not about race. And sorry, but no, it's not about porn either. I don't care what your color or age or sexual hangups are, you'll see people you know in this movie. It's smart and funny. My husband enjoyed it just as much as I did. Really looking forward to the next movie by this director. The only bad thing about this movie is its title. It sounds sinister (eating the bones?!). I think it means getting the most out of life, but it gives the wrong impression. Just go see it!
