***Well I haven't seen it Victor, so I can't say anything other than I'll put it on the list.

But take Steve's response as a warning - do it VERY carefully (even though I don't completely agree with his reaction). Don't approach the "Salo 120 Days .." casually.

***The other night I looked for a movie to watch and noticed an old 1963 film with Paul Newman and Edward G Robinson called The Prize on TCM. While not a great classic, I was struck by how the film depended on acting. There was little in the way of a musical score, little action and no special effects. After a slight adjustment (it felt like watching a soap opera it was so quiet), I found my attention was held captive by real actors.

That is well put.

Regards,

Victor.
