Year 2001 Movies. Herman’s top 10, then Eva’s choices.

Eva only saw the starred movies on Herman’s list. Hence the scant commentary

  1. Pearl Harbor
  2. Divided We Fall Set in Czechoslovakia during WWII.
  3. *Songcatcher Dir. Maggie Greenwald. w/ Janet McTeer. We loved this movie, and so did all the people I spoke to about it. Yet it got some downright negative reviews! In 1908 musicologist Dr. Lily Penleric, in a funk about being passed over for promotion, visits her sister, a schoolteacher in Appalacia. Lily becomes fascinated with folk music.
  4. Castaway w/ Tom Hanks.
  5. Thirteen Days About the Cuban Missile Crisis.
  6. *The Accompanist VCR. Dir. Claude Miller. (Fr). w/ Richard Bohringer (Charles Brice), Romane Bohringer (Sophie), & Elena Safanova (Irene Brice). At the film’s start in occupied Paris the beautiful concert singer Irene hires 20 year old Sohie as her accompanist. Sophie eventually moves in with her employers, though her mother says they are collaborators. The trio moves to London. Sophie observes feelings and has feelings.
  7. *The Sorrow and the Pity (Fr).Dir. Marcel Ophuls. 1971. Documentary about Vichy France, with interviews with people who were there. A landmark documentary, in two feature-length parts, homaged in Annie Hall
