Sex is like the soundtrack. Fun movie. Together--about a Swedish coop in the 70s. I'd already seen this film years ago, but loved it enough to watch it again. Very sweet, lots of interesting characters.The Science of Sleep--interesting fantastical French film about dreams and insanity. Not your typical romance...http://radio.weblogs.com/0106444/2007/07/03.html#a308 Gifting- July 3, 2007 Another world is not only possible, she is on her way. On quiet days I can hear her breathing.
