The Belgian film The Broken Circle Breakdown is one of the five films nominated for the Best Foreign Language Oscar this year. I have to say this is one of the bleakest films I have seen in some time. It is about a little girl with cancer, but it does have some of the best music performed in the film. The music is very similar to the music included in O Brother Where Art Thou, though the movies are totally different. Here are two clips from the film.
"The Boy Who Wouldn't Hoe Corn"
"if I Needed You", a Townes Van Zandt song
