'The Son's Room'

Another great foreign film. Why do they seem to make great films in other parts of the world but every time I turn around Hollywood is churning out more mindless crap?

Maybe I'm just not noticing China's version of "Beverly Hills Chihuahua" or the latest Italian Adam Sandler film.

What I love about this film is that from the very beginning there was a dark sense of foreboding and circumspect harmony. Everything seemed right, but clearly wasn't.

Then the hammer fell and everything spiralled into chaos and it seemed that nobody could do anything about it. Until that girl decided to go to France with that dude. And they needed a ride.
