Review of House of Sand and Fog (2003) by Mari B — 26 May 2008

I really enjoyed this one.

All the things that can go wrong when you have different cultures, and people fail to communicate.

A series of unfortunate events means that a house if wrongfully sold, and the rightful owner has to fight a lot of red tape whilst struggling with an addiction. She tries to talk to the people that bought the house, but because of the difference in culture, and them all failing to listen and recognise where the other party is coming from, it all comes to a very sad ending...

Great performances from all involved. Not a happy go easy film, but will make you think...
