FILMS FROM THE 21st CENTURY

(Post 19 of 50)

Some quick takes on the most relatively recent listings from the
1001 Movies You Must See Before You Die list

The story of a nun who turns out to have Jewish roots, is a simple but well done and beautifully photographed story of a young woman attempting to find out her identity. The film's sense of time and place is probably the chief virtue of the piece. An Oscar winner for Best Foreign film.
