That's what we were all thinking, and also John Waters' first words as the lights came up after last night's screening of "Love Songs," a 2007 French film that showed in Baltimore for only a week. "Am I the only person who thinks this was the best foreign language film this year?" Waters asked the audience before it started. Of course, we couldn't answer then; Waters purposely picks films that didn't get enough (or any) screen time in Baltimore.
For any who missed it, it is released on DVD. It's a pansexual romantic comedy with music, full of beautiful people in a beautiful city. "Everyone was sexy in this movie," Waters said. "The mother was sexy." It was more like "The Umbrellas of Cherbourg" than I would have guessed -- including a good measure of tristesse.
