Recommend a "NON-MAINSTREAM" movie...

[Cygnusx2112]

Something different, and not the usual Hollywood tripe.

Last night my wife and I watched The Closet. I think we put it on our Netflix list because the trailer looked great (saw it in Amelie I believe).

Anyway, from Netflix:

It's Melville's "Bartleby the Scrivener" with a twist when Daniel Auteuil (as a milquetoast accountant) is about to get fired from his job for literally being a bore. At the last minute, a neighbor concocts a "new life" for Auteuil as an out-of-the-closet (read: intriguing) homosexual, and suddenly everything changes. Gérard Depardieu co-stars as a homophobic officemate who may be masking a few feelings of his own.

Charming / funny movie and both Auteuil and Depardieu were great.
