Jandy, so glad you stumbled into our little corner of the internet. You're right - it's amazing how a film set 20 years ago in a completely foreign country can resonate with us in such a sublime, human way. Recent films like this, The Band's Visit, and The Lives of Others continue to stun me with the universality of the human condition. It's not a stretch to think that if films like these - compassionate, insightful, real - could find a wider audience, the world would be a better place and people would spend a lot less time killing one another than they do now.
