George and I are trying to increase the foreign and/or independent movie showings in the area. We show a movie that ordinarily would not appear in the area at the Arts Center the second Wednesday of every month. I do the normal picking of the movie, going through the different cinema festivals, comparing some of the winners and select what I think would be intriguing.
So tonight's movie was not a winner. Looked like a winner on Amazon. Had glowing reviews. Won a somthing or other at Cannes. It was French. It had some documentary overtones. Subtitles! Oooohhh!
What the hell do the French know? If I offended the French or someone related to the French, I am sorry. But, really, this was boring. About a teacher in an inner city French school. And not a very good teacher at that.
I should have known better.
Thing is, next month's film is about an Iranian woman and food. Again glowing reviews. Maybe I should serve Iranian food at the same time. That way the focus will be on food and guessing what is what. Less focus will be on the movie. If it is a bust, maybe no one will notice
It could happen. I am a really good cook. I know nothing about Iranian food, but that has never stopped me before.
Maybe I better have a backup plan and movie just in case.
