This week on The Movie Gourmet – a new review of No Sleep Till, the sensational debut of indie director Alexandra Sampson, No Sleep Till – I’ll let you know when it releases more widely. I also have recommendations for the San Francisco Jewish Film Festival, currently underway, including The Stamp Thief. And the scintillating documentary Made in Ethiopia is now playing on PBS’ POV series.
REMEMBRANCE
Rebekah Del Rio’s rendition of Llorando, the Spanish language version of Roy Orbison’s Crying, was one of the most transfixing scenes in Mulholland Drive.
