Random movie #2, and what a beautiful surprise this was! We're invited into the lives of a family of Mongolian shepherds. It has a very naturalistic feel, the pace is slow, lots of lingering shots of the gorgeous Gobi desert they call home, we get to observe these people and their animals go about their day to day lives. The conclusion was very moving, highlighting the strong bond between the people and their camels. A real hidden gem.

Nashville 1975

Lots of interesting themes and characters. The manic obsession with pop culture icons, see the opening as Barbara Jean arrives in town. How that status affects celebrities themselves, as seen through self-important Haven and womanizer Tom. The depiction of the mysterious replacement party, and how…
