I have watched two foreign films recently that I highly recommend. I will describe them, so you can decide whether they are your cup of team, and make a comment or two.

Of course, it would be nice to compare notes, should you have seen these movies...

Rezien Cazado (Just Married) [Mexico]

A wonderful romantic comedy where a Don Juan meets his match, and then some. Watched it, and laughed all the way thru. Invited some Mexican friends over - we are all reasonably straight church going types with only a modest amount of sin in our lives. Part way thru they told us there was a lot of use of "bad Mexican words." Well, heck! They weren't in the subtitles.

They were laughing when they told us. I felt foolish. But, it was all good.

And, so was the movie!

Mutluluk (Bliss) [Turkey]

A girl shepherd is raped. The family is obliged to kill her to protect their honor. There are some interesting twists and turns. But, a true Dr Zhivago type wrenching, moving love story.


(And, yes, I picked these movies out of a hat late at night, and they are both love stories, and yes I am getting my testosterone levels checked this week, and no you shouldn't make fun of me because I'm still a little teary after last night's viewing of Bliss!)
