make this a must see if you haven't already. i expected this film was gonna be wonderful, and it didn't miss a beat.
this is a political film certainly and powerfully told, but with gus van sant at the helm, it's not only significant, it's beautifully shot cinema.
make time for this.

wow, Penn is truly one of the finest actors of our time... made the hairs on the back of my neck stand up, shivers down my spine...
ReplyDeletehere's to freedom, true freedom that won't let us sleep in our own comfort!
ps, have you seen Shortbus?
i thought Penn totally inhabited the role. i completely forget it was him within a couple of minutes. always the sign of great acting.
ReplyDeletei haven't seen Shortbus, although i hear the opening sequence includes a great justification for learning yoga.
that made me laugh out loud!
ReplyDeletei keep trying - try anything once....pulled my back last time i tried though ;)
actually i found it a deeply moving film full of sadness, yearning to find love, acceptance and belonging - really do recommend it sweetie
as for penn and forgetting who an actor is - amen
Hey thanks, I now have a list of films I must get to see.
ReplyDeleteCould be my evening entertainment sorted for a while...haven't seen either of those and it's always good to follow a recommendation or two.
Cheers,
Katie
