A Few Days in September (Quelques jours en septembre) 2006, Unrated)
A captivating, edge-of-the-seat film. This story, its characters, and enchanting setting engaged and entertained me through its entirety. Binoche was brilliant. An added feature, Nick Nolte was only seen and heard for a few minutes. |

The Lives of Others 2006, R)
Outstanding. This film is exquisitely written and beautifully acted. Intense and quietly edgy, the film portrays the subtle transformation of a man who is part of the East German Stasi. A complex story of disillusionment, love, despair and desperation... and also about hope. |

Good Bye, Lenin 2002, R)
This film was absolutely delightful. Set in East Berlin just-before, and then after the fall of the wall, a family tries to help their socialist mother (who was in a coma during the whole ordeal of October 1989) hold on to what was dear to her about the East... from Pickles to music. |
