Walloon, I believe “umm” usually suggests “I don’t want to be all confrontational and say ‘you’re wrong,’ but, umm, you’re wrong and here’s why…” It suggests the hesitation one might use in speech when delivering what could be seen as unpleasant news.
It also strikes me as a little passive-aggressive, though, since it seems to be a way of superficially softening a conflict while preserving one’s own sense of rightness.
Or maybe I’m reading too much into three little characters.
I think you mean these are out-of-print, because I have all four of these movies on Region 1 DVD ordered from amazon.com.
I myself have been looking for years for At Play in the Fields of the Lord, but haven’t been able to find it.
I know it is not a big title, but is a very well respected movie, I would think.
The acting is top-notch, the scenery is beautiful, the story is intruiging… why, oh why don’t they release it on DVD?
