    A grandmother on her deathbed prompts the return of her daughter and grand-daughter. This dutch town is equivilant to some inbread, backwoods, redneck town in Arkansas, which doesn't explain why she stays and settles down there. The movie continues through two more generations of...( read more) daughters, so we never seem to develope one character for to long. This won best foreign film for some reason. I just didn't like it.

    I saw this many years ago with my mom when we used to sneak into the free weekly movie showings at the local senior citizen center.

    I think the other viewers got it wrong when they said the movie suggested "who needs men?". This movie contains every kind of relationship combination imaginable-- the message was anybody can find love. People also have children under all sorts of circumstances in this movie. The...( read more) characters are in a family like relationship to each other because in a lot of cases they don't fit in with their family or the norm. Not to mention it explores the relationship of a woman with her family--- her mother, her daughter and her granddaughter. This movie explores religion and atheism, namely the hypocrisy of religion and the emptiness and search for meaning when one doesn't have religion. This movie explores a lot of themes- love, life, death, good vs. evil, and meaning. If all a person got out of it was that it was anti-family and anti-religion and anti-male, then they have lived a pretty sheltered life and won't get "it" anyway.
