Downton Abbey got a lot of Emmy nominations, didn't it? Hope it wins a bunch.
I recently saw a Chinese film, "Postmen in the Mountains." It reminded me of Merchant-Ivory productions -- nearly every scene was carefully framed, with gorgeous cinematography. What beautiful scenery. And a simple, sympathetic story of an older generation passing the torch (his rural mail route, which he covered on foot for many years) to his son. A surprising element to me was that the family dog had accompanied the postman on his route -- that in itself wasn't so surprising, but that he was a German Shepherd, a breed I never thought about being in China.
