Artois the Goat

Dutifully, I've noted and commented upon each film I've seen since September 2007.  This process helps me remember what I saw, what I thought, what I liked, before it's overwhelmed by others' opinions or just fades away.

This is the first repeat film in that time, which I first reviewed after seeing its world premiere in March 2009 at SXSW.  The story speaks so closely to my heart and my desires that I had to see it again, this time sharing the experience with my wife.  She's been down lately following surgery, and I thought it would help lift her as well.  I believe it has.  This Austin-made independent film is available on Netflix; if you need inspiration, seek it out.
