Weekly Recommendation: Amour, nominated for five Academy Awards including Best Picture, Best Director and Best Lead Actress, is the only film this week I have seen this week. It is a gruelling but beautiful portrait of what love truly means and features
some remarkable sequences that evoke shock, fear, despair, sincerity,
immense sadness and even some joy. The performances are extraordinary. Though this is the week with the most releases so far this year, little else is of interest here.
