Tea with Mussolini




Another fantastic World War II based film with an incredible cast;
Cher, Maggie Smith, Joan Plowright, Judi Dench, Lily Tomlin, and
more.

A more sedate --yet still disturbing--take on the war, from the
more upscale, feminine side of things.

Equal parts chick flick and fantasy, it's still an engaging and
heartening film about friendship and life.

A Love To Hide


I'm a huge WWII movie buff, and this is one of the better ones.
Many think it too depressing to finish, but I thought the despair
and tragedy was a perfect representation of the reality of the
time. Also, the raw hatred and fear of gay people is only
moments away from escalating to this at any time in the present.

A beautifully written, acted, and filmed movie, it is a grand love story,
and a story about the perils of life. It's a stirring and riveting story.

The ending; a showing of the one place on the planet that gives
honor and remembrance to the gay and lesbian victims and heroes
of the Holocaust, was worth the watch alone.
