HEART OF A DOG

Watchable. The film's weird and structure chaotic. It's also more of a slide show with a commentary than a movie. Some fragments are disturbingly odd, e.g. director Laurie Anderson's enaction of giving birth to a dog. Other are touching like her, even if peculiar, love for dogs. There's also a deeply emotional notion of how "you really don't want to lie to somebody who's dying" and of how she had no time to tell her mum she cared for for. It's also partly about how people try to preserve their acts and memories. So the film's a complete mess with some importaint issues acknowledged. The topic makes the film more suitable for All Saints' Day rather.

The refurbishment in progress at Warsaw's Muranow cinema has taken a funny turn: the cinema is totally gender-equall at present - with urinals in the ladies' loo.
