"The Dreamers" sounds really intriguing. I think I'm going to try to look it up. Out of curiosity, have you read the graphic novel "Persepolis" or did come to the movie fresh?
And re: "Carnivale"? I haven't seen any episodes myself, but I hear that the first season is amazing, and the second season is frustrating -- not least because it ends without ending. From what I gather from comments, "Carnivale" had a plan, and it was following that plan, and then it was canceled. I'd have borrowed it, but: I don't know if I can take another abrupt end in the middle. I really get that right now. Meh!
