Beautiful film #1: The Station Agent

Yes, this is a comedy, but it's also sad, and finally it's simply a story about trying to figure out what you love to do and then trying to figure out how to do it. — Roger Ebert

Probably my favorite movie ever.

See the trailer here.

Thank you, Abby, for suggesting beautiful film week!

ohhhh .... I missed Abby's prompt. This looks good. I need to pay closer attention to her blog. Not sure if I'll participate yet, but will definately have fun tuning in. And, yes, unless a film is this captivating, my mind wanders to all kinds of other ideas. Knitting, or other handwork would probably help that. Have a great evening, Lori.
