I consider myself a film buff of sort. I especially have a place in my heart for foreign and Indie/Non-Hollywood films. If anyone has input, suggestion or wants to share a film they love I would like to hear about it. I am into any genre of film and any time period. Of course if you live outside the U.S they may not be foreign to you, but feel free to discuss the films you like.
Enjoy |

Its about a relationship, and basically involves XXX sex scenes, interspersed with the couple hanging out and listening to bands. Not your typical Winterbottom film (resisting the urge to make a pun here). |

It's supposed to be very graphic and controversial, I haven't seen it yet. I think they are shooting for a release here in June or July. I'll see how it goes, I kinda like "controversial" films. |
