Today The Stranger Suggests

Film

'Septembers'

Because incarceration is one of the most interesting things ever, I am slightly obsessed with Lock-up on MSNBC, a medium-exploitative documentary series about the scary U.S. prison system. The film Septembers is also about prison, but it's about Spanish prison, which means it is toootally caliente! The Spanish prisoners fall in love (coed prison), get married, wear fancy outfits, eat prison wedding cake, sunbathe, sometimes cry, and sing lonely, sad songs to people on the outside. Because, yes: Prison is sad. But next time I commit a crime, I'm doing it in Spain. (Northwest Film Forum, 1515 12th Ave, 829-7863. 9 pm, $9.)

I assume they conveniently leave out the choking with plastic bags they do to people who are suspected of being ETA terrorists. Not so romantic.

@2, that never would have happened if they had banned those evil evil plastic bags -- you never hear about that on Lockup: Ireland.
