The Pearce Sisters is a gorgeous (!) animated short created by Luis Cook of Aardman Animations (Wallace & Gromit, Creature Comforts, Shaun the Sheep). It’s a nice little story about two lonely sisters surviving in a harsh environment. Click here for the official website or click the picture above to watch the full short.

I’ll keep this short. Woman in the Dunes is one of my favorite Japanese films.

“An amateur entomologist searching for insects by the sea is trapped by local villagers into living with a mysterious woman who spends almost all her time preventing her home from being swallowed up by advancing sand dunes. The woman and the trapped man begin a strange and erotic relationship that stretches over years, as the man’s hope for escape dims.” – IMDB Synopsis

Unsettling, otherworldly, brilliant… check out the original trailer here, read an article by Ebert by clicking the picture above, or click below to check it out on amazon.
