Mike White's Year of the Dog
Mike White has written half-a-dozen successful films but hadn’t directed his own screenplay until Year of the Dog, his poignant new comedy about a woman who loses her beloved pet. White’s movies range from the broad comedies he’s made with Jack Black to more offbeat, seemingly personal films like The Good Girl and Chuck&Buck.

Herzog For Your Queue
Land of Silence and Darkness (1971) A documentary about Fini Straubinger, a deaf and blind woman who works to make contact with other isolated people. “If you want to find depth in any of my movies,” says Herzog, “that’s the deepest.
