Filems to see?

Nobody Knows **********
Yuya Yagira was named Best Actor at the 2004 Cannes Film Festival for his moving portrayal of the older brother trying desperately to support his three younger siblings. This movie is based on a true story that took place in Tokyo. This movie is good and will torture you just as much as it tortured the characteres with wait and hope. I recommend it.

Saving Face *******

My Summer of Love, from Pawel Pawlikowski, the award-winning director of "Last Resort", is a tale of obsession and deception, and the struggle for love and faith of the different characters.
