Le Concert
Looking for a decent movie on the New Arrivals shelf at Videoland (East London) is a tough ask. Theres a whoooole lot of rubbish on offer. Le Concert caught my eye. It's like picking the wholewheat sandwich out of a tray of vetkoek and russians. More healthy than you prefer, but really the only option.
Watching a foreign language film requires committment. There's none of that 'get up and turn the kettle on' - infact, anything that occurs too far away from, or at a vector which prevents you reading the sub titles, isn't an option. It's about focus, catching the sub-title and looking up quick enough to match it with the facial expression.
Good movie though; recommended for everyone holding a wholewheat sandwich.
