Even thought the title of the movie sounds & feels way too much like Italian For Beginners, one of my favorite Dogme 95 movies, I'll still check out Puccini For Beginners (links galore from GreenCine Daily) 'cause I believe director Maria Maggenti is from Rockville, MD & the movie sounds interesting. :: I like the story of Greg Araki's career, very inspirational for low budget indie/arty/DIY filmmaking dudes like me, but so far I have not seen a movie of his that I really enjoyed. Perhaps Smiley Face (GreenCine Daily again) will be the one, it sounds good so far, looking forward to it.
