In Film: "Depuis qu'Otar est parti"

I'm way too tired to write about this film, but I just want to note it as a favourite.

"Depuis qu'Otar est parti" is centred around the life of a family of three women in Georgia and how they deal with the death of another member, Otar, who left for Paris to find his luck.

What I liked about the film: it started with a lie and when the person that is being lied to finds out about it, she decides to invent her own lie. But it's also about grasping for ideals and making the best out of a situation. I came out of it, feeling refreshed and ready for what the next week will bring. That kind of films, there's way too little of.

In Film: "The beat my heart skipped"

It's been a while, mostly because I'm busy with other things + diligently updating Tech IT Easy.

Why I like this film is because it places the antagonist between two sources of pressure, his father's business and his mother's art. Since my own home-situation was similar, it hit a note. From Wikipedia:
"The Beat That My Heart Skipped (French: De battre mon cœur s'est arrêté) is a 2005 French film directed by Jacques Audiard and starring Romain Duris. It tells the story of Tom, a real estate thug torn between a criminal life and a wish to be a pianist."
Btw., Romain Duris is the actor that played in one of my favourite films of all time: "L'Auberge Espagnol."
