This is a movie that could launch an entire forum, because there is so much in this movie to discuss and debate.

I don't want to be a spoiler for those of you who haven't seen it -- and won't be -- but if you loved Crash, you'll think you died and went to heaven with this one. The director is a genius.

When everyone has seen it, let's talk about it.

It's a must see.

Thanks for the recommendation YIF. I will have to see it now. I hadn't even heard about this one.

YIF - when you see movies in a theater, are they in French or English?

During their first week, they are generally shown in the 'original version' and after that they are dubbed in French. If we rent movies, we can generally get them in two languages -- French and English -- assuming they were American or British to begin with. If they are French movies, they are French.

There is also a theatre in Perpignan and airs English movies a few times during the week.

And then we also download --

I saw this movie last weekend. Loved it. I do have some questions but I will wait until more people have seen it.

I agree, the director Alejandro Innaritu is brilliant. He also directed Amores Perros and 21 Grams. I'll wait until more have seen it too. Someone please let me know when it's okay to comment.

What if we set a date like -- April 1st -- and we'll check back and start discussing it because there is a lot to talk about with this one or if you feel that isn't enough time, we'll let it go for another month.
