Fave film? foreign or indie film such as Joy Luck Club, Curse of the Golden Flower, Au Revior Les Enfants



I love The Joy Luck Club! However The Curse of the Golden Flower was good.. but I could not get behind her and really feel sorry for her after the whole son thing. Beautiful scenes... and Chow Yun-Fat  is just damn dreamy and one of the best actors of all time in my book. I was chomping at the bit for that movie to be released. The last one I will have to get.. I love sub-titled films... But the French I do not have to worry with reading.. and I am getting better on my Mandrin understanding.  Darn if I can speak it though.
