Two extraordinary films

Don't miss Werner Herzog's My Son, My Son, What Have Ye Done. My favorite movie of the year so far with a visual, verbal and musical beauty in the absurd and mundane. Flamingos. a basketball in a barren tree. The word from within. The exceptional cast includes Michael Shannon, Chloe Sevigny, Willem Defoe, Lido Kier, Brad Dourf and Grace Zabriskey. The producer is David Lynch.
The documentary, The Most Dangerous Man in America, Daniel Ellsberg and the Pentagon Papers, is a depiction of a profile in courage and also should not be missed. A modern day hero whose actions significantly effected the end of the Vietnam War and president Nixon.
