71. Gabbeh, Shadows of Forgotten Ancestors, Kwaidan, Frida, and Tous les Matins du Monde

Edited on Mon Dec-31-07 05:22 PM by Lydia Leftcoast

Gabbeh: Magical-realistic Iranian film about nomads who weave colorful carpets, telling the story behind one of the designs.

Shadows of Forgotten Ancestors: When I'm wealthy (ha!), I'm going to finance the digital restoration of this haunting retelling of a Ukrainian legend and its folk music soundtrack.

Kwaidan: A series of stunningly photographed Japanese ghost stories

Frida: The life of Mexican artist Frida Kahlo, featuring scenes as colorful as her art

Tous les Matins du Monde: The true story of two musicians in late 17th-century France, this film, like Barry Lyndon is filmed using only the light that would have been available in real life in that era: daylight, candles, or torches.
