Osama

[Petra]

I must be in a film mood.


I'm thinking about going to see the film Osama either tonight or tomorrow night. Has anyone here seen it? What did you think?


And of these listings, which would you recommend: http://www.victoriacinema.co.nz/

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.

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.
