Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)If you date or want to date someone smart and thoughtful, this is a great movie to see together. No, it's not romantic like, say, The Umbrellas of Cherbourg, but it gives a lot to talk about. Like The Most Dangerous Man in America, this movie considers the impact an individual can have (or fail to have) in a world with seemingly overwhelming forces of violence and injustice. Walter's movie offers the points of view of victims, rebels, and those who are neither but like to discuss these roles. The footage of Streep and Brecht is fascinating as it examines the ways both orchestrated their effects. The juxtapositions of images are poetic: rows of skulls, rows of bicycles, and while the movie touches on many issues, Walter pulls them all together in a satisfying way. So if conversation is part of your seduction strategy, this movie is for you. It would also be great to see with anyone you like to talk to.

Academy Award Winner Meryl Streep (Mamma Mia!, Its Complicated) is an unforgettable Mother Courage in Tony Kushners adaptation of Bertolt Brechts masterpiece, Mother Courage and Her Children. Along with Academy Award Winner Kevin Kline (Wild Wild West, A Fish Called Wanda), this gripping documentary pulls the curtain back and digs deeply into Brechts motives and politics, unearthing the playrights famed (and famously clever) testimony before the House Un-American Activities Committee. For the first time in Meryl Streeps career, the film offers both an exclusive look into the actresss craft, and also on the play itself--whose themes of warfare and violence have both parallels to life in the 21st Century and Brecht's tortured history in America. DVD includes commentary from Academy Award Winner Michael Moore.
