Caramel-A wonderful Lebanese film about women who work at a hair salon. It's sad, sweet and funny. The cast is wonderful especially Asiza Semaan as the crazy woman who lives across the street and Gisèle Aouad as an aging actress trying to get work. The director is Nadine Labaki and she's also one of the stars. See this!
4 months, 3 weeks, and 2 days-A bleak, wrenching Romanian drama about illegal abortion under a Communist regime in 1987. The film spans a day as Otilia helps her friend Gabita get an illegal abortion. The way the movie is done makes you feel like you are right next to these people. Anamaria Marinca is superb as Otilia, the friend who cares for Gabita no matter how much she lies or how stupid she is. The film looks cold and industrial, but it really gets to you.
