Precious
Courtesy of Icon, we have the Oscar-nominated Precious on DVD.
A powerful film, Precious feels almost like a contemporary take on The Colour Purple, with its story of abuse and survival. It is so good that even Mariah Carey can actually act in it!
In Harlem, an overweight, illiterate teen pregnant with her second child is invited to enrol in an alternative school in hopes that her life can head in a new direction. It will not be easy for Precious to break away from the chains that have made her unhappy and incapable of loving herself.
Monique’s performance as Precious’ abusive mother made her win the Oscar for Best Supporting Actress – the film was also nominated for Best Picture, Director, Actress, Supporting Actres, Adapted Screenplay and Editing

It has a beautiful message which I feel strongly about – the power, delicacy and value of nature.

Peter Weir & John Seale did a magnificent job, while the Academy went to sleep.
