a quick list

Friday I finally got to see Kumiko, The Treasure Hunter.  Bitter sweet tale of a young woman's descent into depression,  and an escapist Treasure hunt against the backdrop of a claustrophobic Tokyo, and the frigid beauty of the welcoming but alien Minessota winter.

Saturday was Michael Clayton,  Tom Wilkinson and George Clooney in a nice little legal, chemical corporation cover up law case with hitmen and car bombs.

I also finally got to see Delicatessen. Probably the only Jeunet I hadn't seen up to this point.   Very similar in bleakness and style to Bigbug and Cite des enfants  perdu, maybe also Micmacs.  Absurdist farce, this time post apocalyptic. As opposed to the more light hearted Amélie and TSSpivet.
