I am touched by her performance. No matter how different the culture, or how young the musician, her performance reflects a devine beauty; her music speaks to my soul. I am grateful wherever I find beauty, even in the far-off DPRK.

Thanks for posting! If any film is crying for a remake, this is it. I'd begin by getting rid of the hokey 1980's sound track. Why did the director, or studio hacks, feel the need to add the bear attack?! The book's unfolding story of Brian's adaption, observation and survival was fascinating en...

Thanks for posting these vignettes! Under his leadership, Russia and the rest of the Soviet Union progressed from a backward rural nation to an advanced industrial power. Without his leadership, the Nazis would have crushed Mother Russia. Sure, he made a few mistakes, (don't we all?!) but in t...

Saw this sometime during the past year on either the Sundance or the Independent Film Channel, and it haunted me. Although I forgot the name, after a bit of pointing and clicking I've discovered its title and plan to get a DVD. As folks say, films like this never appear at the local multiplexes...

If you've ever taken the Autopista Nacional west, to Pinar del Rio, it looks a whole lot better; with great lanscaping you'd almost think you were in the States...except for, LOL, the occasional donkey- or horse-cart clopping along in the break-down lane! I enjoyed a one-day visit to Saroa and ...

Alas! humanrights 85, although more and more American people are becoming aware of the injustices perpetrated by the Israelis against the Palestinians, it seems as though our Congressmen and Senators are bought and paid for by the Israeli lobbyist. Still, eventually the American people will beco...

The Greek people--as opposed to such boot lickers as Papandreou--do not support Israel, nor the never ending diktats of European bankers for austerity, austerity and more austerity. They should think about leaving the so-called European Union (which, once the Euro collapses, will not be worth ...

Thanks! Saw a great production of this in Habana last October. Cuban version was even sexier--if that's possible! Thanks for posting!

Thank you once again for your excellent documentary! Outstanding composition, framing, shots, all of which create a very haunting mood.

Thanks! I never knew that Capablanca was born in Aguacate, where I cut cane from Nov.'69 to Feb.'70. Another coincidence: Capablanca suffered from the same rare disease (which brought an end to his chess career) that I also suffer from. Finally, one of the two doctors in the world who speciali...

Thanks for posting! Speak Memory--of the many arrobas I cut in the surrounding canaveral for the Centro Ruben Martinez Villena from Nov.'69 to Feb.'70.

Thank you for posting! I was there with my daughter and friend franco franco (de Radio Progreso/Habana) in February of 2008. The old hotel is falling into ruin, its only guests now a large colony of wasps hanging from one corner of the now roofless lobby. Its grounds are haunting, like some dre...
