Ciao Y'all, 

Another movie recommendation, following upon my recommendation of Guy Maddin, 
now for: 
"Hanging Garden," 
which also is Canadian, set in Nova Scotia, with more Northern guilt,
sometimes afflicted by mini-statues of the virgin Mary which roll their
eyes in disapproval, a major concern with gayness-- and this time a tad
less OT 'cause there's one song by Our Jane on the soundtrack. 

I didn't recognize it (he said with a touch of Northern Guilt), it had the
word "spring" in the title. 

It's about a dysfunctional family, very well done, professional, with good
use of music and soundtrack-- and a remarkable use of concrete symbolism. I
found it at Netflix. Seek it.

Meanwhile, 
Have a groovy seasonal whatever, 
complete with a major pile of goodies beneath a festive tree,

-- hugs all around,

Bruce

PS Of course Issa gets royally annoyed when I refer to her as "Our Jane." 
She told me this in a dream last night, but I just do it anyway... 
It's a fool's prerogative, I say.

PPS I wish my Xmas were white! I hate these winters w/o winter. I may have
to drive up to Quebec, to get some bona fide winter. Zut alors.
