October 3rd: "Trouble the Water", Carl Deal & Tia Lessin (2008).
Powerful documentary about the first-hand experience of a black family of the 9nth Ward in New Orleans before, during and after the Katrina hurricane landfall in 2005.
Ocotber 4th: "Black Narcissus", Michael Powell & Emeric Pressburguer (1947).
Superb Technicolor dream about morality, lust and power in a convent in the high mountains of India. The convent is the stuff of which old colonial adventures are made, the matte paintings are art, the last 20 minutes are chilling, everything is exact, beautiful and meaningful.
