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.

The American Friend (1977)
A mystery directed by Wim Wenders.
A frame shop owner who is terminally ill is persuaded to assassinate 2 men.
The audio was a mix of German and English and subtitles were provided for the German parts. The video was good.
This is one of those films in which all of the characters lie to one another through the whole thing. This makes the plot a little more difficult to follow. I liked the assassination scenes where the target has to be followed or tracked down and an escape has to be made. Overall, it falls exactly in the center of my o.k. range.
