This does not happen too often. It has certainly never happened to me before today - latest movies by cinema's most reputed Masters, back-to-back...Ken Loach's 'The Angels' Share' (British, 2012): A dramedy on a young father's struggles when he swears on his new-born to live a crime-free life...
Bernardo Bertolucci's 'Me and You' (Italian, 2012): Secretly camping in the basement of his own house, a fourteen-year old boy bonds with his step-sister, as both struggle with their obsessions and insecurities...
And finally, Michael Haneke's 'Amour' (French, 2012): One of the most unforgettable love stories, in which an elderly couple's love for each other is tested under severe circumstances; possibly the best movie of the year so far...
It's always good to end the day with a light, entertaining film. 'Electrick Children' (USA, 2012) did just that. It was especially heartening to observe the audience reaction on this story about a fifteen-year old girl getting pregnant miraculously, through immaculate conception, a la the Virgin Mary.
Difficult to believe, five days are over, already...
