You know what? Take it easy this weekend. Watch some baseball. Clean your house. Drink some wine.

Sounds good to me.

This is departing from our usual TiFaux fare, but I stumbled across something I thought you guys might be interested in. Well, I’m interested in it so I image you guys might be.

IFC is going to air a movie by Mike Mills (of Thumbsucker fame, not R.E.M.) called Does Your Soul Have a Cold. It’s a documentary about the emergence of antidepressants in Japan — a country that is new to the concept of depression as a mental illness. The movie follows five subjects as they participate in the first wave of people in the country to begin taking the medicines.

There’s an interesting interview with Mills on this Web site Big Screen Little Screen. Here’s an excerpt:

Japanese culture is such an older, more homogeneous culture – you can feel its history when you’re there. So to see this person taking an antidepressant, which is such a Western, American device, it really struck me as a new level of globalization – where global trade, ideas of pharmacology, global economies – literally going inside her body and affecting the most mysterious part of your brain: your sadness. This thing, that somebody who really is depressed is really not in control of, really doesn’t know how to handle, and is at the mercy of. So it seemed like such a fragile place for globalism to be happening.

The movie airs on IFC on Monday, Oct. 22 at 9:00.
