I see that a few Aussie & Enzed films have been mentioned; it would be a shame to leave this one out! Don't know if anyone's still reading this, but Looking For Alibrandi is a good film about a teenage Italian-Australian girl struggling to find her place in the WASP community as a legitmiate Aussie, as well as within her own community as a bona fide Roman Catholic (she was born out of wedlock). LFA was based on the novel by Melina Marchetta. Great film, great read. Did anyone mention ‘Looking For Alibrandi’?

I think it touches on a lot of what I sensed while watching Crash. Jensen talks about America, and Americans, but what he says holds true for Canada too. And why not, since Paul Haggis, the director of Crash, is Canadian. http://www.zmag.org/Sustainers/Content/2006-03/21jensen-wosnitzer.cfm kreepyk

It's shot like a reality tv show (on digital film as well) and the story takes place in one town in which people are selected at random to kill one another. Last person alive wins. The part that rocks? The protagonist is an ass-kicking, single, eight-months-pregnant woman with guns. Such a funny parody -- and I adore the main character. I'd love to see a feminist analysis of this one.
