thanks for the detailed description. i watched it last night. as you mentioned in your review it’s uncomfortable since the characters are so flawed and unlikable. it parodies the situation, but it does it so straight, you’re not sure if it’s supposed to be a parody which only adds to the uncomfort. definitely not a film for everyone.

Whoo hoo, that’s great, Michael!

I watched the 30-minute Helen documentary and the opening credits of the film itself and both are definitely worth it.

Enjoy!

Michael, I don’t know how much they cost you over there, and if the difference in price (after postage is added) would be significant for you, but I did see it available on Amazon.com Used and New for $13.58…

(I haven’t bought it; I was just watching a rented DVD.)

Maja, the only caution I’d mention is that it’s different from their later films (like A Room with a View, or Howard’s End), a bit more tragic, though still compelling to see.
