  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.

• A new Pixar movie means? Rejoicing! Although I haven’t seen WALL-E yet. Because I am a bad fan. Soon. Every Pixar movie, though, I see the trailer and I’m like, how are they gonna pull this off? An animated family movie with a 70-something crotchety protagonist? Then again, their short Geri’s Game was about an aging gentleman chess player, and that was fantastic. If there’s one thing I’ve learned, it’s to trust Pixar.

It wasn’t the movie of our dreams. It wasn’t that total film we carried inside ourselves. The film we would have liked to make or, more secretly, no doubt, the film we wanted to live.

- Jean-Luc Godard, Masculin Feminin
