my brother is an only child


i saw this italian movie this past weekend. if you do not mind subtitles, you will surely enjoy this funny and intense movie about two brothers who grow up quite differently.

in addition to a great cast, screenplay, and direction, this movie sheds light on some of the grandest themes of recent european history, politics, and culture:

nature vs. nurture.
socialism vs. fascism.
sibling rivalry for affection.
adultery.
murder.
individual vs. society.

i have a huge crush on diane fleri, who plays the role of francesca.

let me know if you have seen it and want to discuss. . .

okay, new album for you to take a listen to: she and him- volume one.

it's m. ward and his girlfriend/actress zooey deschannel. it mainly features her though. and she's got a good voice. i recommend: you really got a hold on me.
