Ping-6

This movie is a riot, especially for fans of the mystery genre. A young woman finds herself in England, minus the jewels she was supposed to be carrying. Denis Lawson plays a would-be private eye who helps her out. It's a fun romp through the English countryside. If you have a chance, watch this movie!

I had to watch this movie several times to understand even a bit of it. Part of this was because I was trying to understand the Russian, but it was also because I felt there were things that I was missing that I should understand in order to understand the movie. After the 3rd or 4th time, I began to understand maybe a little. (I'd certainly managed to pick up about the only Russian words I knew really well.) But I liked it. In some ways it was a sci-fi film, but only in setting in and in some of the fantastic elements, like the Zone and the Room. But it was interesting. And what's up with his daughter? I don't know, but I find it strangely compelling.
