Aimee, you're going to love Kinky Boots. It was a great film.
Well, my days of not taking you seriously are certainly coming to a middle.

Buffista Movies 5: Development Hell
A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

FWIW, I really really love The Umbrellas of Cherbourg. Put it on the short list of accessible French films. That is, if you like the melody that is played with considerable variety all through the movie, where every line of dialogue is sung, including details of car repair....
It's one of those movies where dropping acid before viewing would only be redundant.

Oh, I wasn't dissing The Umbrellas of Cherbourg (although I prefer the Les Demoiselles de Rochefort). Since I teach French film, there are a lot of French films in my queue, and it is not a bizarre recommendation in and of itself. It was just the "if you're interested in this, you might like this" non-sequitor that threw me.

S to the A -- using they/them pronouns!
Somewhat related: the only French movie I've ever seen was Danton. I should probably fix that.

Try EYES WITHOUT A FACE. It was the feel good movie of whatever year it came out.

It's the feelgood movie of every year! We watch it every Christmas and Arbor Day.

It really was! I think I wrote a five-page letter during the film.
