Re: Obscure but great movies!

I saw this one recently and really liked it. I suppose indy films classify as "obscure"?

mindwalk - Google Video


Quote:
"The most literate and stimulating cinematic talk session since My Dinner With Andre"

- John Hartl, Seattle Times......

In this widely acclaimed film, set on the impressive island-abbey of Mont Saint Michel in France, Liv Ullmann, Sam Waterston, and John Heard portray very dissimilar vacationers caught up in a spontaneous and life-affirming sweep of self-expression and new ideas.

MindWalk played in numerous theaters in the United States and has been shown repeatedly on cable television. It had a record run for over two years in a matinee theater in Los Angeles.
