My wife absolutely adored <I>Slumdog</I>, so you've got good company there. :) I need to think about the film a little more, but the problems I had with the narrative and the romance continue to nag at me, which is never a good sign. On the other hand, the more I think about <i>Of Time and City</i>, the more I'm impressed by its languid beauty. Definitely recommended. Thanks for stopping by, Sam!

I have not seen the Davies, but I am a huge fan of his work and I adore DISTANT VOICES STILL LIVES, it's beautiful follow-up and the trilogy. I honestly didn't see the narrative issue you site in SLUMDOG MILLIONAIRE, which I saw on Wednesday night and have already posted the review at WitD. It was the first 2008 film I have awarded five stars to of the roughly 150 I've seen, so you can see I liked it! LOL! I am today preparing my review of DEAR ZACHARY, (which will post tomorrow) and I am following up witha second five-star rating. I appreciate the points you make. It is surely one of the most overpowering and deftly-crafted documentaries I have ever seen. Best Wishes for the rest of the St. Louis Film Festival. I will be checking in.
