MONDAY: Filmfest D.C. is bringing plenty of worthy films to the District this week, but if you've only got time for one, make sure you check out "Seraphine."

It's a French flick about post-modernist painter Seraphine de Senlis, who went to great lengths to continue painting in the face of financial difficulties -- she even worked as a maid.
