My Mother Learns Cinema

My Mother Learns Cinema is essentially a minimalist short showing a young filmmaker sitting opposite his mother teaching her how to pronounce some of the more important names in world cinema. It's pretty funny, initially, and then it becomes tiresome. It wasn't hilarious because I couldn't get around the director's heavy Turkish/English accent - I kept missing the filmmakers' names. Renders the whole short a little pointless, doesn't it? I did catch Jim Jarmusch, though...
