2 Gems Not To Miss

The Salt of the Earth is a documentary about the extraordinary Brazilian photographer, Sebastiao Salgado. The persistence of vision and the surprising twist at the end of the film make this a must-see.  Woman in Gold is another film with notable persistent and determined characteristics.  It concerns a woman, played by Helen Mirren, who has the drive to see that justice is done in regard to the return of art stolen by the Nazis.  She hires a lawyer, Ryan Reynolds, who has the same kind of doggedness. Together they make an forminable team, but can they prevail in a case that is 70 years old?  This is an expecially positive portrayal of an attorney. Something I appreciate but don't see often.
