Harry and I had FHE at the Laemle in Pasadena - saw Wadjda - a great film. It's the one by the Saudi Arabian woman who had to film inside a truck, giving directions by walkie-talkie because she couldn't be out on the street working with men!!
Harry thought it was a bit depressing to think of women being held down like this, but I thought Wadjda's spirit came through - a spirit of resilience and hope and purpose and determination.
For a first time film effort, it is impressive - hopefully it gets the best foreign film Oscar - it deserves it - and I haven't seen any of the other films - I just know it does!!
Go see it!!
