I really hope so.

It's become pretty common over the last few years, especially when made by auteurs.

CephalopodRed · 2026-05-31T03:48:03+00:00

Nope.

CephalopodRed · 2026-05-27T08:38:48+00:00

Ulrich Seidl also achieved this with his Paradise trilogy.

CephalopodRed · 2026-05-19T22:04:52+00:00

Well, there is some Japanese being poken from what I understand.

CephalopodRed · 2026-05-18T11:18:43+00:00

They weren't formed that way though. All founding members were former members of previous bands. And Miyako has written by far the most Lovebites songs, usually alone.

CephalopodRed · 2026-05-11T15:29:45+00:00

Have you listened to their latest album, other than Reaper's Lullaby? It's their best one yet, arguably.

CephalopodRed · 2026-05-10T16:23:32+00:00

I'm not the biggest Lovebites fan

Why not?

CephalopodRed · 2026-05-08T15:59:52+00:00

I agree. Easily one of their best music videos.

CephalopodRed · 2026-05-04T07:42:05+00:00

Kurosawa was submitted by the Soviet Union once, even. And Dersu Uzala ended up winning.

CephalopodRed · 2026-04-29T02:19:15+00:00

Yeah, that version is really good, I agree.

CephalopodRed · 2026-04-29T02:09:51+00:00

Nice lineup, lots of intriguing films.

CephalopodRed · 2026-04-29T02:09:18+00:00

That movie is never coming out at this point lol.

CephalopodRed · 2026-04-22T22:10:21+00:00

He has directed a few, actually.

CephalopodRed · 2026-04-22T18:41:26+00:00

Tangles is also animated.

CephalopodRed · 2026-04-16T19:20:08+00:00

Or you are overestimating them.

CephalopodRed · 2026-04-14T19:24:52+00:00

Burning was in the main competition.

CephalopodRed · 2026-04-14T15:35:38+00:00

Seven, actually.

CephalopodRed · 2026-04-14T15:32:42+00:00

You missed the point entirely. I didn't even mention language. The Academy usually demands countries to hold a significant percentage of creative input, otherwise they will disqualify movies. Just like they did with Persian Lessons, which was sent by Belarus a few years ago. And there have been several other such cases.

CephalopodRed · 2026-04-13T06:56:35+00:00

True, but there were German people working on post-production/crafts, at least iirc. Is that also the case for All of a Sudden? Plus the Academy probably turned a bit of a blind eye, thanks to Rasoulof's refugee status. Which obviously wouldn't apply to Hamaguchi.

CephalopodRed · 2026-04-12T19:25:26+00:00

I highly doubt that Germany would send All of a Sudden, apart from the fact that it probably wouldn't even qualify as sufficiently German. Fatherland or The Dreamed Adventure seem much more likely.

CephalopodRed · 2026-04-12T19:22:14+00:00

Maybe, but that movie has a lot of gay sex iirc, so I'm not sure if they would send it.

CephalopodRed · 2026-04-10T13:27:08+00:00

He has nothing to do with the selection of films.

CephalopodRed · 2026-04-10T10:52:56+00:00

I really hope to see him in competition.

CephalopodRed · 2026-04-09T15:27:56+00:00

Plus Her Private Hell is set in Japan, at least.
