  the first is a Korean parable, following a monk through the 4 seasons of his life- spring he is a young child being taken care of by a monk on a monastary in the middle of a lake, summer he is a young man experiencing desire, still at the monastary, etc. It is beautifully photographed. A meditation on time and life.

  The second is the story of a child in Italy, again beautifully photographed Italian countryside. He discovers his father is involved in a crime and becomes torn between his father and the victim of the crime. The story itself struck me as a little preposterous, but I did like the characters and the setting.

    I could not have briefly described it any better. But, for me I liked "I am not scared" quite a bit. Probably because it was one of the few movies that I did not read up on before seeing it. Being foreign, I sort of never knew what was coming. It made for a pleasantly tense movie, from start to finish. And yes, the photography was very beautifully done.

    Dogville is next on my list. Do you have a brief comment on this one?

      I thought Dogville was an absolutely terrible movie. A lot of style (pretensious psuedo sophisticated anti-establishment flavor of the week style)over substance. The heart of this movie is nothing more than a old testiment/ Grimms fairytale style morality play. The moral of the this story; people are simplistic and shitty to the core. I found this movie more offensive the more I thought about it.

      Lots of options out in CA for movies, gotta pick and choose, this one got bad reviews and doesn't appeal much to me.

      How about Super Size Me- man eats McDonald's food for a month, gets serious health problems. I liked it. That's the last movie I saw.
