Twins (De Tweeling) is a movie about twin sisters separated by relatives in Frankfurt in 1926. The girls are about 8-10 years old, Anna is healthy and Lotte has tuberculosis, and Anna gets taken by poor Catholic relatives in Germany and Lotte by rich Protestant relatives in the Netherlands. The movie goes back and forth in the sisters' lives. Good movie if you are in the mood for crying a lot. The message of it: it's not nice to live in interesting times.
Are we, incidentally, living in an intersting time now?
Elephant is a movie about a high school shooting. Minimalistic and very predictable, but quite watchable. It also goes back and forth in time, showing people's interactions several times from different characters' points of view. The acting is fairly good since the actors are regular high school kids who play regular high school kids, except for the two bad guys who are not very believable.
