I love this picture.  It is from Sobrevivire (I will Survive 1999) with Juan Diego Botto (he is in the middle).  He is introducing his ex-partner on the left to his new partner……a mujer!  You could feel the tension between these two.  If you think it’s bad for a girl to find out her boyfriend has dumped her for a guy, think again because something feels really funny when you are gay and you find out that your ex is now with a girl…..just a LITLLE bit of jealousy, vengeance, etc.  The movie was great and I highly recommend it.

Botto is superb in Martin (Hache) too.  He left Argentina when he was 2 after his father disappeared in the “Dirty War” and moved to Madrid where he currently lives.   The movie is a shockingly honest portrayal of father-son relationships and will make you cry in the end (if you are like me :) )

Now that summer is over, I hope to jump into my classes.  I will have more classes this semester as I hope to relate in more detail later.   I hope that I can incorporate some of my class requirements into this blog. ………..more pictures and updates to come.
