Yeah I'd never heard of that one before, but with Terry Gilliam directing, I'm quite curious about it.
Yeah congratulations to Denmark they had a huge presence this year.
I'm a huge Dardennes fan so yeah it was good to see them win something. I missed that part of the show though because the internet stream wasn't working very well.
As for Tilda, she's impressed me in pretty much all of her recent work, so I can't wait to see that film.
Three that I've got on the list and would really, really like too see. I'm also interested in this The Wholly Family. I like short films. I might take a quick peak into it if I get the time soon.
I REALLY want to see Meloncholia
Denmark did really well I see. As a Scandinavian, I'm pleased to see that. Perhaps the awards will help rebuild Lars Von Trier's reputation after the scandal at Cannes
The kid with a bike you loved also got an award which I'm sure you're happy about
I'm curious to see We Need To Talk About Kevin, even though I don't think Tilda Swinton is a great actress, maybe this is her moment to shine?
from Chris
I have been looking forward to seeing Melancholia and We Need To Talk About Kevin. Antichrist was really good and I hope Melancholia is the same.
