i've recently discovered a lovely little film called sweet land.
it's a love story; a slow, simple, and quiet love story.
while the film is mostly spoken in english
the female lead character speaks almost exclusively german
and her words are deliberately unsubtitled.
the language barrier is effectively portrayed
and yet the performances are so good
that there's no question about what's being said.
the lighting in almost every frame is beautiful,
whether it's a room lit by kerosene
or the sun shining on a wheat field.
the love story is understated.
it takes its time
and this creates a depth and believability
that i think are lacking in so many romantic films.
the film was shot and takes place
in southern minnesota
which makes it all the more charming and relatable to me.
rent it, borrow it, i'll lend you my copy. :)
it's not a perfect film, i don't want to build it up
to an impossible level,
but it's very, very good.

I bumped into your blog via a Google search. I am trying to find out who wrote the beautiful quote that is used on the beginning of the "Sweet Land" movie... I just watched it this past weekend and loved it!
