Blu-ray Review: ‘Life, Above All’ Takes Child’s Eye View of AIDS Pandemic
Submitted by mattmovieman on December 14, 2011 - 8:18amCHICAGO – According to multiple reports from the 2010 Cannes Film Festival, Oliver Schmitz’s artfully lensed, sensitively acted film received one of the warmest receptions.

It’s a film of grand statements delivered with quiet power.
