Vitus (2006)
Fabulous movie I would see again
I saw this movie at the Palm Springs Film Festival and absolutely loved it. I didn't want it to end. It just got better and better. I almost didn't go to see it because there were so many other choices. I thought it was just going to be about a child prodigy, but it was about so much more. There were many stories besides the many one, and every one of them was unique and kept my interest. Screenwriters could learn a lot by analyzing the elements that composed this film and then writing more good ones like this. The acting was superb. I thought that the young piano player stole the show. He was perfectly cast. However, the real life piano player who played the character was also excellent in his role. It was so nice to have a complex plot without being in the middle of a story with family members screaming at each other. They may have had different plans for the piano player's life, but at heart they all loved each other.
Wondrous Oblivion (2003)
I loved this movie
Evidently, this movie has not yet found a US distributor. I was lucky enough to see it as part of the San Francisco Jewish Film Festival. I have to say that I enjoyed it more than any other movie I have seen in recent memory. It totally captivated me. The story, characters, setting, values, personal relationships, acting, sports aspect - all were interesting, well done, unique and such a good cohesive film. This was a fresh approach that didn't draw me into the clichés, dead time and old themes of so many movies. If I could, I would go see this again soon. I only hope it reaches US markets so I can send my friends. Marsha
