   Yay someone else actually saw Silent Light! Glad to hear you enjoyed it Marina, it was my second favorite film of last year.

   I wrote a review of it here:

   the ending is referencing another film.

   Yikes! I forgot to add the spoiler warning! It’s fixed now!

   Heading over to read your review. I didn’t realize there was a connection to something else with that ending.

   yeah it was brought up at the Q&A with Reygadas at TIFF… to say which film would give away what happens.

   Bugger.

   Just read your thoughts and we’re on the same page, even with the ending. For me, it wasn’t so much icing on the cake, it did make me question the decision, but it didn’t detract from the my enjoyment of the film.

   And on a side note, it’s playing in Vancouver for a week. We went on the first night and it was a near complete sell out. It was nice to see!

   Damn you Vancouver, always getting everything!

   I’m dying to see it again…

   I will admit the ending was jarring, how couldn’t it be but had we both saw the film it was referencing it would have been less so… I have still not seen the film but i know of it. Still, my perception of Silent Light was that there was an awe in every frame, and the main characters seemed detached from it all around them, and so the ending makes sense, like the awe manifests itself.

   @rot We don’t get every film playing here. Black Sheep never came to town, and I am bitter as hell!

   Most anticipated film of 2007!

   Leeny,

   Haven’t listened to the show yet, but “Black Sheep” on DVD just came and went through our store yesterday for about $7 USA. Had I thought of it, I would’ve grabbed it for you.

   But in all honesty, you’re not missing that much. It’s fun, but gets pretty tedious and frankly kind of boring by the end….

   PS - the last line of my review is shear (haha… get it? shear?) genius if I do say so myself.

    I have seen Black Sheep, its just I wanted to see it on the big screen so badly. I use my 19″ monitor to watch all my rental film. Some films just need to be seen on the big screen. Black Sheep, for all of its faults (and I agree there were a few) is still the exact kind of film I truely adore. Kurasawa, Lean, Coens…. all are fantastic but my heart belongs to the horrid B-movie horror/scifi set.

    leeny - Have you seen the irish animal husbandry gone bad flick “ISOLATION” - a solid piece of horror/sci-fi worth looking for.

    I liked “Isolation” - indeed very good.
