6. Me, too! Every time I see it, it gets to me. How did a 20 year old get to be so wise? n/t

7. I tell you, the 20-year-olds of this world are going to save it.

3. Aww.

One of the best foreign films I've ever seen was Iranian: Darius Mehrjui's Hamoun.

The protagonist was a failed writer, in a depressed post-war Tehran, going through a messy divorce. Very existential.

These are a few scenes from the movie - although the score was an arrangement of the Adagio from Bach's Violin Concerto in E.

Enjoy.

9. You're welcome, pnwmom

I didn't find a free version online, sadly - but if you feel like getting a copy on e-Bay or Amazon, I recommend it.
