It's an 'old' movie by today's standards. The problem I have is trying to stop myself from buying more DVDs - they can be pretty expensive. I was looking for the DVD of a movie called <i>The Other Side of Sunday</i> and it's upwards of $20.00. That can add up to quite a bit of change when you buy DVDs like I do. :( I hope you do get to watch it some time - I think you'll like it.Anu Warrierhttp://anuradhawarrier.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2309362817539389132.post-91869882038965027442012-04-10T06:20:02.475-04:002012-04-10T06:20:02.475-04:00I'm sadly deprived of world cinema here.

Not that they don't show them, they do - a lot, but the subtitles are not in English :-(<br />So I'm not even aware of what all is out there.<br />It seems just like a film I would love.

Please do watch it - there is so much that is said in those silences, and the expressions are so beautifully 'vocal' that you do not miss the words at all.

Ronit Elkabetz is a very sensual actress, I saw her in "Late Marriage"; a film about arranged marriage among a certain community in Israel. She most certainly fits the part of a "free spirit".Samirhttp://www.oenophile-samir.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2309362817539389132.post-1756440988565499802012-04-09T06:33:11.728-04:002012-04-09T06:33:11.728-04:00This has very little to do with the movie though t...This has very little to do with the movie though the recurring theme right through is music and the fact that it is mostly American Jazz that brings the two Egyptians , Tewfiq and Khaled to understand each other . This is the song that Khaled sings to the girl in the ticket booth when she gives him the tickets for Bet Hatikva. This is Chet Baker singing and playing the trumpet though I must confess that I feel his performance here is shaded by the brief solo from Lars Gullin, another great musician and like Chet hopelessly addicted to narcotics. Lars's ability to coax such beautiful light notes from an heavy instrument like the baritone sax never ceases to amaze me.<br /><br />http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8SGAcP7Zh6USSWnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2309362817539389132.post-81349480658225969432012-04-08T23:18:50.468-04:002012-04-08T23:18:50.468-04:00Grrr!

This one's really a must-watch, Madhu, just as <i>A Separation</i>. For anyone, I think, who loves good cinema. There is something about the use of humour in this movie that underlines its pathos.Anu Warrierhttp://anuradhawarrier.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2309362817539389132.post-50899477581200235372012-04-08T22:45:47.790-04:002012-04-08T22:45:47.790-04:00Grrr!

Ah, I <i>so</i> wish I could see this... <i>must</i> look for it. Sounds fascinating. <br /><br />Incidentally, while reading your review, I was reminded of my trip to Israel back in 1998 with my parents. we stayed in East Jerusalem - the Palestinian side of the city, and the area that includes the walled city, the Mount of Olives, and all (? guessing) the other Christian sites in Jerusalem. <br /><br />We invariably wandered around only in East Jerusalem, and would be warmly welcomed everywhere we went. "Indians? Ah, you are our friends!" The difference between East and West Jerusalem (the latter the Jewish half of the city) was palpable and just a little bit uncomfortable, even for us, who were total outsiders, neither Israeli nor Palestinian. dustedoffhttp://dustedoff.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2309362817539389132.post-50079058069119347312012-04-08T14:53:52.304-04:002012-04-08T14:53:52.304-04:00Didn't she like it?

But when we came across a scene from the film after many days while browsing TV channels, she seemed to remember the film, but I couldn't place it immediately.

Must have spooked her off on my tastes:)<br /><br />While it isn't a political movie explicitly, there are under currents that cannot be swept away. Considering that there are no easy answers when it comes to saying what is right and what is wrong in such a contentious issue and the tempers that it would otherwise flare, it probably makes sense to make a movie on the Israel-Arab issue with a touch of humour. Iranians seem to be master at making such politically delicate movies creamed with a dollop of heart-warming humour...<br /><br />Well, well, I am overwhelmed that Ms Anu has dedicated a post to a humble soul like me and taken my vocal protest seriously! What more can a blog reader ask for but for such recognition?
