Movie #173 "Moscow, Belgium" was an unsual love story between a woman of three kids whose husband left her for a younger woman. That's not what is unusual. He still pops in and out of her life because he's not officially divorced. Along comes a trucker whose truck she runs into one morning at the supermarket. They cuss each other out, but when she tells him off very succinctly, he finds an interest in her and they start to date. She starts to feel good about herself, but that's just when her husband wants to come back to her. It's a cute indie film. I'm not sure it is "one of the 10 best foreign films of 2009" but it was well acted, esp. the woman and the trucker.
