Not quite right

I saw I Skoni tonight, unfortunately it didn't live up to the expectations I had for it. I was expecting a film with lots of introspective moments, but instead I Skoni was a little too loose for my taste. I like tight stories where things make sense, rather than have things happen for no reason or not make sense within the context of the scene. Usually I'm able to ignore small inconsistencies, but when gratuitous sex is involved, I have a hard time looking the other way (in both meanings of that phrase). I Skoni's a decent film, just don't expect too much.

Iran & Human Smuggling, two things that have never let me down...

Two years ago I saw an Iranian film called Farda at the WFF, it was good. Last year, I saw a Slovenian film about human smuggling called Rezervni Deli, it was very good. Today I saw an Iranian film about human smuggling called Dastaneh Natamam (Story Undone), it was also good. Dastaneh Natamam was a very fine film, which left me wanting more. I think the film could've done more with the situation it presented. But it sure beats a film that does too much with the situation (I Skoni). I wish I saw more movies this year....

In other news I'm all packed up and almost ready to go....
