The Man Who Cried

This is the only Sally Potter film currently streaming on Netflix, and it's Starz Play, so it will be gone in February.

Better known for Orlando and The Tango Lesson, Potter's The Man Who Cried has the same fabulous look, using a cinematographer of the best European arthouse tradition.

Russian Jews, gypsies, and music form a thread that leads us, finally, to the Nazi occupation of Paris. It seems like a traditional holocaust story, but it's more about Christina Ricci's character, a young Russian who is trying to follow her dreams. John Turturro plays a professional singer, and did his own stunts, as it were - Cate Blanchett hooks her carriage to his star.

Potter worked on the film for 4 years, wanting to convey the horrors of the holocaust without depicting endless violence on screen.

If that's not enough to recommend it, Johnny Depp plays a gypsy. :) Let me know what you think.
