Position Among The Stars — Leonard Retel Helmric's award-winning, trilogy-closing, magical-realist vérité portrait of a working-class family living on the cusp between third-world poverty and contemporary globalization in Indonesia — begins an Oscar-qualifying run at the Fallbrook in Woodland Hills tonight. As of this writing the film's U.S. distribution future is uncertain, and it's a must see.
