Touching film about a handicapped girl.

Excellent documentary about the Shetland Islands.

Faut pas rêver (1977) ***

Quite a curiosity - a videoclip directed by Jean-Luc Godard. Needless to say, it's quite different from all the other music videos. It's a song by Patrick Juvet, « Faut pas rêver », composed par Jean-Michel Jarre.

Nice images from various space missions, but nothing deserving an Oscar nomination.

A bizarre parody of "Pinocchio".
