Three Great Movies This Week

Rashomon

I just don’t understand.

A great film which explores human nature and the tendency we all have to be dishonest. Like much of Kurosawa’s work, the influence on other films has been widespread.

A Separation

What is wrong is wrong, no matter who said it or where it’s written.

A fantastic film which explores the overlap of logic, faith, and emotion. Not at all what I expected, but very well done.

Fish Tank

So you keep sayin’ But you’re nothing to me. So why should I care what you think?

A disturbing look into the life of an angry and lonely young girl. The film touches on very mature and complicated moral issues. Not a feel good movie, to be sure.
