rain. college. 'im going home'

its raining again. college opened again. and the roads were flooded again. another extended meeting in college where we had an animated discussion about the usefulness of biometrics for villages. they get their fingerprints read to access information on how to get their fingerprints read? i came home to watch ‘i’m going home’ in which an aging actor comes to terms with growing old after losing almost his entire family in one sudden accident. with manuel de olivera the director being over 90 years old i dont think i have seen a feature film more unabashedly personal than this one. gentle, spare and extremely moving.
