The Problem With Foreign Films

...is they don't come with a rating...so while I don't go to R rated movies normally, one that should get an R rating slips in at the film festival.

Last night's Girl With The Dragon Tattoo was one such film. Lots of action but...the R rated stuff just doesn't suit me.

Yesterday afternoon's Korean film, A Brand New Life was definitely G rated. Its the story of a young girl who is left at an orphanage by her father - through most of the film she holds on to the notion that he's coming back for her - then finally abandons that hope and embraces another - as she flies off to be adopted by a French couple. I recommend this one.
