She is someone who never goes to theaters and isn’t anywhere as passionate about film as I am. She borders on indifferent. This is all to say that she was deeply DEEPLY touched by the film’s message. We solemnly left the theater and when we got into the car she broke down and bawled her eyes out because she didn’t want to make a scene in the theater.

I do love international films and seeing what different cultures can create. I feel sad when they imitate the lowest that we have to offer in terms of filmmaking.
