DVDs: This month warrants three recommended films: A Separation: An Iranian family is torn apart by a decision to either leave the country for the sake of their child, or stay behind to care for a parent with Alzheimer’s. Footnote: This film has an incredible plot, far too demanding to encapsulate here. Suffice it to say that it will have you glued to the screen, laughing, crying and screaming. Idiots and Angels: And now for something completely different. A 2008 animated film from the talented grey matter of Bill Plympton, this is the story of a crotchety man, who is overtaken by the angel on the other shoulder. The animation and the script are amazing. —SJA
