some incredible films ive seen as of late: the business of being born - which is an eye-opener putting sicko to shame (produced by ricki lake - seeing her give birth was a sight to be seen) and the diving bell and the butterfly - which was so beautiful but very hard to sit through.
and the 5+ hour version of bergman's fanny and alexander might be the best film ive ever seen. thats probably only out in nyc - unless it goes elsewhere.
Ive been waiting to see this documentary - taxi to the dark side- since it screened at tribeca last year. looks incredible, albeit a bit tense. not sure how many of these docs i can take.

About the film:
From the Academy Award nominated director of ENRON: THE SMARTEST GUYS IN THE ROOM, Alex Gibney's TAXI TO THE DARK SIDE is a riveting documentary that examines the death of a civilian Afghan taxi driver at the hands of United States soldiers. Through shocking never-before-seen images of the Bagram Air Force Base and the Guantanamo Bay prisons, and interviews with former government officials, prison guards and interrogators, the film takes an unflinching and often disturbing look at the Bush Administration's military torture policy. (116 min.; R)
