Resurrection

Not much progress on the film front; my uncle passed away Monday, and the resulting...festivities (theologically speaking) took some time -- wake, funeral, and a family food gathering...so today I watched "Parable," a 1964 film short about, well, the death of Christ, symbolically.  Interesting...I watched a couple of scenes again just to look at some stuff.  Odd, too, given its date of production.
