"Twice born". Excellent movie.

Penelope Cruz plays an Italian women with returns to Bosnia with her son, years after she lived there during the war. What a performance! Here's my review and a trailer: http://moviejunkiemark.blogspot.com

I'll put it in my queue. I haven't heard of it before. I like Penelope Cruz. First time I saw her in film, several years ago, was a film set during WWII (or was it WWI?) any way. Small mountain village in Italy I think. The title was something like Captain Mandolin or something similar. I think Nicolas Cage was the lead Male Actor. Anyway, the point is, I've enjoyed films Penelope Cruz is in, since viewing that film.

Based on the excellent book "Corelli's Mandolin." The book was so good I'm afraid to see the movie.
