The Piano

A romantic drama tonight, a wonderful and intense romantic drama, The Piano. It speaks of possession, desire, a controlling husband, and what one is driven to do when they are not “reciprocated”… One of the most beautiful soundtracks ever composed, the stunning New Zealand (where it was filmed), magnificent costumes, and an excellent cast make this a timeless masterpiece… Here is the link to THE HEART ASKS PLEASURE FIRST, one of those pieces of music that literally breaks my heart.

What’s Eating Gilbert Grape

The plot revolves around Gilbert Grape, a young man who bears the weight of a dysfunctional family, made even more challenging by the death of his father.
On one side, there is a mother who is severely overweight and can no longer move or leave the house; on the other side is young Arnie, who has a mental disorder and simultaneously idolizes his older brother.
