The final scene will haunt me forever, but otherwise it's his weakest film that I've seen. (Still haven't caught up with the first two, but <i>Pour rire</i> at least is reputedly superb.)md'ahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06055853987416332662noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8838733.post-75136544814395941012015-02-14T16:29:44.806-05:002015-02-14T16:29:44.806-05:00Yes, Brisseau, I am an idiot.Yes, Brisseau, I am an idiot.Michaelhttp://academichack.netnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8838733.post-12852266365711822382015-02-14T14:11:01.450-05:002015-02-14T14:11:01.450-05:00*Bressane*BressaneBlakehttp://blakewilliams.net/blognoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8838733.post-72871744074833560102015-02-14T14:09:50.606-05:002015-02-14T14:09:50.606-05:00Think you mean Brisseau, though Briassane's Se...Think you mean Brisseau, though Briassane's Sentimental Education is an earlier front-runner for my top Undie of 2013 (alas).Blakehttp://blakewilliams.net/blognoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8838733.post-91329093733504043562015-02-14T14:07:16.271-05:002015-02-14T14:07:16.271-05:00I was kind of surprised by the no-show of Brissane...I was kind of surprised by the no-show of Brissane's <i>The Girl From Nowhere</i>, but I guess no one's seen it, or Brissane's brief moment in the limelight is over.Michaelhttp://academichack.netnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8838733.post-84369080257769200312015-02-14T14:06:25.286-05:002015-02-14T14:06:25.286-05:00Well crap, had I remembered A Month in Thailand wa...Well crap, had I remembered A Month in Thailand was eligible I'd have made it my top point-getter.

(Forgot about <em>You, Me & Us</em>, unfortunately.) <br /><br />The titles I voted for that didn't make the top 10 or next 20: <em>Die Welt</em>, which I'm guessing most people/voters didn't see at New Directors/New Films, Thom Andersen's <em>Reconversion</em> (I think it's only screened once in NYC so far), and two movies that don't seem to have screened much in the US outside True/False (Eliane Raheb's <em>Sleepless Nights</em>) and Cristian Soto & Catalina Vergara's <em>The Last Station</em>), so fair enough.Vadimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16748591562916338637noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8838733.post-46061358510642619182015-02-14T11:56:49.243-05:002015-02-14T11:56:49.243-05:00Everybody in Our Family is indeed excellent.

Critics and festival programmers are always looking for the next "scene," so Romania is regarded as yesterday's news. <br /><br />But Radu Jude's latest film is a big critical success at the Berlinale, so perhaps he'll finally break through.Michaelhttp://academichack.netnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8838733.post-88327433966869827212015-02-14T07:32:46.138-05:002015-02-14T07:32:46.138-05:00The Romanians seems to have fallen out of favour r...The Romanians seems to have fallen out of favour rather quickly. Barely anyone seems to have seen Everybody in Our Family and yet it was one of the best films I saw that year - absurdly hilarious and increasingly shocking yet believable in such a raw way.<br /><br />And I can't believe Sleepless Night hasn't been remade already, much less released. One of the most masterfully calibrated thrillers in years.goranhttp://letterboxd.com/ykantgoranritenoreply@blogger.com
