Non-hyped 'Bella' reaffirms humanity

Witness the simple power of the low-budget motion picture "Bella," newly released while conspicuously minus the blockbuster-hype and marketing campaign accompanying most Hollywood productions, many pitifully lacking in substantive content.

Absent special effects, violence or titillating skin, "Bella" simply, yet profoundly, confronts a young couple's choice of commitment over convenience, endearment over expediency and life over death.

Treat yourself to this reaffirmation of the most positive side of the human experience.
