The Cave of the Yellow Dog

Now, here is a philosophical movie--contemplative, removed, and resisting the rapid shot-flickers of your usual Hollywood fare. It's more documentary than drama, but that is its strength. And here's the best part: your kids can watch it! Miriam wants to herd goats and live in a yurt now. And, she informs me, she speaks "Mongolan."

Perfect fare for the stomach flu; perfect antidote to the suburb-blues. Not that we'd know...
