(I was 5 years old then, but very precocious.) In any case, you should be happy to hear that "Volver" seems to be doing quite well here in Los Angeles. Lines at a nearby theater showing the film were going around the (lengthy) block -- that has rarely happened before. Also, "Volver" will quite likely get a Best Film Oscar nod. And it will win the Best Foreign Language Film award, pretty much without a doubt. And yes, the AFI has a great selection of films this year. I'll be posting more on the screenings in the next several days. David,
