The Sterile Cuckoo (1969)
A psychological study, more or less.
There's a good reason why we were assigned to watch this movie in my Psychology Class. Poor Pookie is a pretty messed up young woman, even though she is a trooper and full of piazzaz! This movie seems like quite the period piece, which caused a few giggles throughout the class. Not all of it holds up well to the 30+ intervening years since its creation. I will say, however, I have a newfound respect for Liza Minelli. She was amazing!
La mitad del cielo (1986)
A gorgeous and fascinating story set in northern Spain.
This movie has "haunted" me since I saw it five or six years ago, and I keep trying to find a place where I could rent it again. The scenery is awesome -- green and fertile. The story captures the little-known Celtic side (i.e., magical side) of the folks from northern Spain. It is a slice-of-life quite unlike my own life -- and makes you think. See it at least once.
