i've just finished watching The Remains of the Day (again). what a film. i've been blown away yet again. the day i don't have a wee bubble, when anthony hopkins says goodbye as emma thompson is driven off into the night, is hopefully a long time in coming.
another film which come close is Breaking The Waves (i come from the same part of the world) but at least that film has an uplifting ending.
just fyi, by the way.
Originally posted by EdwardipovI think a pretty depressing but good film I have seen lately is The House of Sand and Fog with Jennifer Connelly & Ben Kingsley.

I recall being aghast at "Rings of Bright Water": a lovely Disney style otter film till the last scene, when for no good reason and out of the blue, as the wee otter runs along a trench in a field, a farmer cuts its head off with a spade. Dead. Film ends. I was only 6. Distaught.
