FILMS: Chris Rock once famously said that “a man is only as faithful as his options”. I don’t know how true that is but it makes you think. Why does it seem like infidelity is more likely, the more successful a man is?

Lukas Moodysson’s latest film, Mammoth, is a brilliant examination of modern love and marriage. It’s about the rippling effects of life’s smallest decisions. Leo and his wife Ellen lead a charmed life in New York with their daughter, Jackie. Ellen is a hardworking emergency surgeon and Leo is an entrepreneur. His website is doing extremely well and is generating a great deal of interest. When he travels to Thailand on business, he unknowingly sets off a chain of events that will have a dire impact on his family. Mammoth is currently available on DVD and Video On Demand.
