STATE OF SIEGE
If the truth and beauty can be captured in a work of art,
and if a movie can be a work of art not only to look at it,
but to feel, with all the excitement of a fast, uncontrolled drive into the unpredictable unknown,
and where the moments of highest impact correspond with the moments of deepest meaning, and
where its relevance is such that in your memory you relive this haunting experience again and again,
then that movie is STATE OF SIEGE.
Written by Franco Solinas, directed by Costa Gravas,
starring Yves Montand versus Jacques Weber.
Among the most perfect motion pictures ever created.

Technically all Hollywood and American films are foreign to me. I like some of those, but my favorite film is Wings of Desire (Wim Wenders: 1987) It's about an angel whose been on the earth since time began, and gives up his immortality for a woman.
