On Sulu Designs' blog here she posted today, with others doing the same, an entry for Beautiful Film Week - Day 1, and I was taken with the idea, so I am going to play along this week and share a few of my favorites also. Anyone else want to play?
My first submission for consideration is Sweet Land which I saw once just a little while ago. I loved it so much that I wanted to wait a little before I saw it again because it was an emotional story on film and you all know me...I don't do emotion well. I am now, however, ready to see it again. It is really a beautiful story, set in southern Minnesota about Norwegian/German immigrants beginning in 1920...it is a love story, beautifully told. Here is a site for the trailer for it, but you truly need to just rent it and watch it all curled up with a lovely fire blazing in the fireplace, a cup of hot cider, and maybe your Granny's hankie in some parts...it is very moving. The photography is really lovely as well, and the actors incredible in their parts...what's not to love? So, Sweet Land would be my first submission for Beautiful Film Week. Let me know what you think after you've seen it!
