I don't watch many US/UK films here in France because I'm vigorously opposed to dubbing and where we live it's hard to find cinemas that show the subtitled versions instead. But Javier Bardem is an absolute genius, so I'll have to look out for this.<BR/><BR/>While we're on the subject, has anyone reading this thread seen Ang Lee's _Lust, Caution_? It's also an adaptation, of a short story by Eileen Chang. I've been wanting to see it but again haven't found a place that's showing it undubbed.<BR/><BR/>-- PreetaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7912730.post-39954999982295629012008-02-24T21:13:00.000+08:002008-02-24T21:13:00.000+08:00PreetaMore info here, including a trailer:http://u...Preeta<BR/><BR/>More info here, including a trailer:<BR/>http://us.imdb.com/title/tt0484740/<BR/><BR/>It's in English and was nominated for a Golden Globe.Chethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10743260318771644192noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7912730.post-50207997052452962782008-02-24T20:30:00.000+08:002008-02-24T20:30:00.000+08:00Brideshead Revisited and Love in the Time of Chole...Brideshead Revisited and Love in the Time of Cholera are the two I'm most excited about.

I find it hard to believe that anything would top this production, as it had class, a stylish set, legendary actors (John Gielgud & Lawrence Olivier in delicious cameos) and some amazing scenes filmed on the Queen Mary. Btw, it's available in a box set DVD and obviously I have access to one! :)gnutehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04531420382594855447noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7912730.post-20745279160373089922008-02-24T00:43:00.000+08:002008-02-24T00:43:00.000+08:00you left out The Assassination Of Jesse James By T...you left out <B>The Assassination Of Jesse James By The Coward Robert Ford</B>.Allan Koay 郭少樺https://www.blogger.com/profile/06520221332029467739noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7912730.post-76195223358464418162008-02-23T16:33:00.000+08:002008-02-23T16:33:00.000+08:00Wow, Brideshead Revisited on film.
