I urge everyone to find When
the Rain Lifts the moment it
becomes available on DVD
(which may not be a while,
considering it had its North
American premiere at SIFF). If
you are a Kurosawa fan at all,
or are just in the mood for a
beautifully shot story with
noble characters, you must see
this. Of the ~ 2 dozen films I
saw at SIFF, this is the one
that still stays with me.
One other note: if you're going
to be in Seattle this summer... by vorlon

...be sure to hang out around
the U-District and check out
movie schedules for the
Varsity and the Egyptian. It
seems like about a third of
the movies that played at SIFF
are going to get a limited run
again this summer.

Harry, "Ave Maria" was just
released in Mexico a couple of
weeks ago and it was a
failure, both critically and
commercially, so don't expect
it so eagerly. It isn't that
good.
