Anyway, trying to figure out which 3 bonus films I should book on my mini pass. I've narrowed it down to these which fit in around my work schedule: Pierrot Le Fou, Mommo, The Nun, Yuri's Day - which clashes with my 5th option The King and the Bird.<br /><br />Any of these films that people really recommend?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34898184.post-83544720989945119962009-07-20T19:18:12.065+10:002009-07-20T19:18:12.065+10:00I think loach's stance is unfortunate.
