I've Heard the Mermaids Singing
One of the most underrated films of the 1980s is now available on DVD with a director's commentary track. If you haven't seen Patricia Rozema's 1987 film, you should definitely check it out.
This is actually great news because the film has not been available in the US in some time. I used to teach the film at the University of Illinois and always found interesting things to discuss with my students.

A wonderful film! I've always liked the part where the protagonist is awestruck by people at a party because they write books.

Yes, that scene is a lot of fun. I always found the montage sequences where she rides around on her bicycle taking pictures to be quite funny.
