EVERYTHING IS ILLUMINATED



I have to say, Everything Is Illuminated is the most interesting movie I've seen in the past couple of years, turning a book into film is a sketchy proposition and often result in a highly critical flop.
Elijah Woods plays Jonathan Foer (although he wears the same kind of glasses than his role as a serial killer/canibal in Sin City, this character is the total oposite), an American born Jew who’s obsessive/compulsive disorder makes him "collect" things. He claims he does it so he’ll remember everything. And added to his strange collection one day is a photograph given to him by his dying grandmother, a photo of his dead grandfather standing next to a woman. The image was taken in the Ukraine, just before the Nazis attacked Russia, and Jonathan doesn’t recognize the woman. His grandmother refuses to speak to him about who she is. Jonathan’s obsessive behavior then takes him to the Ukraine to find out who she was and how she’d affected his grandfather’s life ... and his own.

Go rent it ;)

The music in the movie just make you wanna dance (wich I did, after closing the curtains of course)
