Today, there are two film screenings, and both look interesting to me, but since I’m doing a “pick of the day” I’m going to pick the US premier film called “Snails in the Rain.” The preview for this film is very interesting, and I have no clue what the name means, but if the film is as good as the preview suggests it may be, it is a must-see film. Over the years, some of the most memorable films for me have been foreign films. For these reasons Snails in the Rain” is my pick of the day.

This intelligent and emotional 2013 Israeli film considers how a peaceful life can be upended with the written words of a stranger.

Set in 1989 Tel Aviv, Boaz is a linguistics student committed to his loving girlfriend, Noa. But soon Boaz is questioning his life when he begins receiving a series of obsessive love letters from another man. They expose the inner world of their author, who is deeply closeted — and knows plenty about him, including Boaz’s past attraction to other men.

The lead is played by the incredibly sexy male model Yoav Reuveni, who has appeared in ads for Armani and is making his acting debut.
