Some films

This week I watched "Out of Sight" which is an Israeli film starring Tali Sharon and Assi Dayan and some other quite well-known Israeli actors. Even if you don't know Hebrew, I would highly recommend watching it. The main character is a blind woman who returns home from her PhD program at Princeton for the funeral of her best friend/almost sister growing up who has just, unexpectedly, committed suicide. I really don't want to go into any more detail but I don't want to ruin it for anyone but I highly recommend this. It's got an incredible theme of not seeing things that are right in front of your eyes, blind or not. Go watch this.

I also watched "Brief Interviews with Hideous Men", based on a book by David Foster Wallace. John Krasinski directs this very interesting, non-linear story of a woman who is interviewing men about relationships for her graduate studies, while she is trying to come to terms with her recent break-up. My favorite thing about this movie is all the cameos- Dominic Cooper, Chris Messina, Will Arnett (as the guy always trying to get into her girlfriend's apartment), Christopher Meloni, to mention a few. Also, John Krasinski's monologue at the end is spectacular. Just spectacular. Also recommended.

Talk about stream of consciousness!
