Just watched The Photograph up at my school. It's a 2007 Indonesian film that's part of the Global Lens film series. Probably one of the saddest films I've seen in a very long time, the ending scene in particular got me a little choked up. In a nutshell the movie is about an attractive Indonesian woman who works as a lounge singer and a prostitute to help support her mother and daughter. She meets an old Chinese photographer who is still grieving over the death of his wife and son that happened decades ago. Without spoiling too much of the plot, it is a very touching movie with some brilliant cinematography.
