You won’t soon forget this walk down memory lane. Actually, make that a RUN down memory lane.

Odd but compelling; one of the year's 10 best
Jan 5, 2005

Jan 4, 2005
Most Hollywood films tell us we have everything we need within ourselves. [This movie] indicates that we need each other, even ... when togetherness disrupts happiness.
