In ancient Egyptian mythology, a dead person's soul would be weighed against the feather of truth in a ritual called a psychostasy. If their soul was lighter than the feather, it would ascend into the afterlife. Heavy souls were devoured by Maat, eater of the dead. Good films go to hard drive heaven while the recycle bin eats the rest.

Seraphine (2008)
A drama directed by Martin Provost.
A French painter/cleaning lady is discovered by a rich art dealer who promises her the world, but then the great depression hits and her paintings don't sell.
The audio was in French and subtitles were included. The video was good.

This film was pretty dull. I liked the beginning when she's gathering painting supplies in strange places, but the rest is lack-luster. When she goes insane, it only drew a slight chuckle from this audience. This is probably best avoided.
