On my travels, besides our trip to see Milk, I did catch a few other films while I was away.
On the plane, I caught a few films on my portable DVD player, including Carl Theodor Dreyer's Ordet, Rabid Dogs by Mario Bava, and Breathless, by Jean-Luc Godard. My favorite though, was a danish film called Brothers, from a woman named Susanne Bier. It concerns two brothers, one of whom is a drunk, loser ex-convict, and another who is married with two kids, and then goes off to Afghanistan and is presumed dead. The loser brother comes in to help around the house, and ... things happen. But not necessarily what you think happens, or why. I don't want to give too much away, but I highly recommend this film. If, however, you don't like to watch Danish films, you can wait until next year's remake, directed by Jim Sheridan (In The Name of the Father; In America) and starring Jake Gyllenhaal, Tobey Maguire, and Natalie Portman. Well worth a look.
I couldn't find a trailer for the film, unfortunately.
