The Way Home

We watched it last night, and it felt like being inside a Flannery O'Connor story: the accurate, painful slice of a sick modern society embodied in a spoiled, unpleasant and mean child--and then the long-awaited, fulminating moment of grace and redemption, forgiving, transforming. Few films cause me to cry, much less at home with the family, but this one did.

The Way Home is a film that transcends the ordinary, a serious non-romantic study into a young soul in a journey towards the encounter with Charity.

Have you explored our blog under 'foreign'?

Just did. I've seen many of those great films. Wow. I just read your profile and saw that you're from Brasil. My wife is from Porto Alegre! Can you recommend some good Brasilian cinema??? :-)

Porto Alegre! I am from Rio! How did you meet? And about Brazilian cinema... it's a sorry thing. I did enjoy Central Station, amazingly enough.

Her family moved to Los Angeles when she was four. In her early twenties, she moved to the Midwest and met me. :-) Is your husband Brasilian?
