The Believer

Just saw this last night... crept it's way onto the Film 4 schedules sometim last week and from there limped it's way onto my hard drive...



Wow. Very interesting. Troubling. Unsettling. I don't remember much fuss about this at the time but...

Wow. I spent the whole film oscillating between competing thoughts:

1) I have to show this film to my students because it's the best, most conflicted, most serious film about Neo-Nazism..

2) I can't show this film to my students because it's the best, most conflicted, most serious film about Neo-Nazism

3) "Not everyone can savour this bitter fruit with impunity"

4) Everyone should savour this bitter fruit with impunity.

I'm not even sure what I think. Maybe that's a good reason to:

a) show it

b) not show it
