I also enjoyed Holland's "Europa Europa" and "Secret Garden". She also wrote "Blue" in the "Three Colors" Trilogy (but given her Polish ancestry, I thought she would have written "White" starring the delectable Julie Delpy). Haven't heard about her recently, so don't know what she's up to.

In "Hoop Dreams", I was ready to give the mother who got her nursing degree my hero-of-the-year award. The film was a refreshing dose of reality, as neither William nor Arthur won the State High School Championship or made a big splash in college basketball. I dunno if I'd ever agree to having five years of my life put on film and condensed to four hours. Would probably bore most people to death. I remember reading that the high school coach was trying to sue the filmmakers for portraying him as a typical coach = dictator.
