Sunday night = movie night

I'm  really getting tired of advertisements that cut off in between a program or a film, especially on a Sunday when I just want being lazy in my sofa and watch films after films but don't want to listen to some annoying voices and music that pop out in between.  Last Wednesday I decided to took a swing into a local library to borrow some films for today. These two was chosen and warm recommended.

The Swedish film CALL GIRL which has won four Guldbagge Awards.was among many films at the shelf. It's a political and emotional thriller with nerve and socially conscious.

I read about this film in 2012 bur never got a chance to watch it at cinema. So with no doubt I took it home. What a powerful film! I was still holding on my breathe even after the film was finished. I got stuck at the third last scene.

I have translated the introduction about this film (was wrtten on the back of the cover) as follows:

"It is election year in 1976. Female emancipation and sexual revolution goes hand in hand with neutrality, nuclear and security for all. In Stockholm, kindergartens are located next door to posing studios and sex clubs which get customers from the nearby government offices. Young Iris was recruited as "Call Girl" from a reformatory, and instantly sucked up from the bottom of society, past by the discos and elite chandeliers, climbed up to serve the country's top politicians. When the utopian image of Sweden threatened,  the land's powerful men stepped in in order to maintain that image."


Now go to my second choice of film.The reason I have chosen "The Other Woman" because I am a fan of Natalie Portman now after watching her in "The Black Swan". She doesn't disappoint me though and is magnificent in this film too. This film is irresistibly sentimental and I love all the songs and music in this film. Don't miss them out while you are tearing...
