Movie News and Views

I am launching my new blog Movie News and Views which is dedicated to the love and appreciation of cinema. I will post reviews of films currently playing in theaters, new DVD releases and old favorites. There will be postings on news and information regarding upcoming films. I will also have postings on actors, actresses, directors, etc. that I admire. In the future, when the blog is more established, I hope to post interviews with people who are involved in the filmmaking process.

DVD mini review - Obaba

Obaba is a terrific little Spanish film directed by Montxo Armendariz. It takes place in the small Basque town of Obaba.

University student Lourdes (Barbara Lennie) goes there because she is working on a project for school. While there she meets a number of residents. Many of them were in a picture taken a long time ago. Some of these people have stories and each story carries its own significance. It helps Lourdes piece together the puzzle of this town. And it also helps her to understand herself better.

Pillar Lopez de Ayala, Juan Diego Botto and Eduord Fernandez also star in the film. It is based on a collection of short stories by Bernardo Atxaga. I highly recommend Obaba to anyone who loves good and interesting world cinema.
