Conrad, who was born December 3, 1857.

Week-end (1967) is a surreal movie about
a married couple who go to the French
country side for the weekend (and more). This movie
is an anti-Western diatribe, a 1960s time capsule,
a woman's road to guerilla hood, and features a
traffic jam considered one of the great set pieces in
movie history.  This movie is from acclaimed
director Jean-Luc Godard, born December 3,
1930.


Week-end











Best Boy (1979) follows the director's
cousin, a middle aged mentally retarded
man, over a three year period.  This
film won an Oscar as Best Feature Documentary.
Today is United Nations International Day of
Persons With Disabilities.
