The Strange Case of Angelica

Released in 2010, this DVD was a Canne Film Festival Selection.  It takes place in 1950's Portugal.  A well-to-do family hires a young photographer named Issac to take the last photographs of their deceased daughter, Angelica.  Upon seeing her, Issac falls deeply in love and soon finds her returning to life in his camera lens.  No one you have ever heard of the stars in this film.  Although, the acting is quite good.  It is one of those movies that sneaks up on you.  You get hooked by when and where Angelica is going to pop-up.  However, it is not  horror story material.  Kind of like Casper(the friendly ghost), she is a lovable spirit.
