Osama

[Petra]

I must be in a film mood.


I'm thinking about going to see the film Osama (http://www.osamamovie.com/) either tonight or tomorrow night. Has anyone here seen it? What did you think?

Cheers!

I am surprised that no one has seen this film, especially given how topical it is. Hmmm....

Anyway, I'll go tonight and report back with a loose review of my impressions.

I don't think it's shown anywhere near Dulsa, D'ohklahoma. Our last art house theater, one that might've shown something like Osama, went out of business a few months ago. :(

This is the first I've heard of it, actually. But I don't get out to the movies much.

Osama (http://movies.yahoo.com/shop?d=hv&cf=info&id=1808489790) is set in Afghanistan, just as the Taliban began to take over, as women found themselves forbidden from coming out onto the streets unless accompanied by a man or a boy. The story focuses on a mother and a grandmother who have no living husbands or sons, so they disguise a daughter (Golbahari) as a boy named Osama so that she can escort her mother as she leaves the house, looking for work.

I'd go for Monsieur Batignole or As far as my feet will carry me, Petra. Hell, if these are still playing in two weeks i'll take you to see them. :popcorn:
