Amores Perros

JC,

Good choice with Amores Perros, but I still think you're a knob slobbin' uncle tom.

 

['Radar' O'Reilly]

My choice is Mouchette (Robert Bresson)

One of the most overwhelming human experiences you will find on film. Nothing pretentious or wallowing in self pity, just the facts as they are in this story of a young girl used and abused by everyone and trapped in between an alcoholic father and a terminally ill mother.

 

[Mary Jane Jacobs]

That sounds good, thanks for the tip.
