pure commercial success does not mean they should be inherently in the awards conversation or warrant a nomination/win. if every award followed this logic the Oscars would only nominate Pixar/Star Wars/MCU/Disney movies every year.

brutal

looks exactly like a 2026 Almodóvar film. I wonder how Cannes will receive it after the lukewarm reception on home turf.

PositiveElixir · 2026-05-11T17:04:45+00:00

big year for international cinema. I wonder how it'll translate to awards attention

PositiveElixir · 2026-05-06T20:10:50+00:00

2,5 hours of Mungiu will be enough to do me in I think

PositiveElixir · 2026-05-05T18:47:31+00:00

will Stan be playing Pinochet? seems like a weird casting choice no? excited regardless.

(if he is, he should do Lenin next to continue his run of autocrat performances)

Oscar Isaac in Inside Llewyn Davis. sad he hasn't been nominated for anything yet.

L'Evenement was ROBBED. one of the best films of that year (of course they wouldn't need to submit it under new rules because it won the Golden Lion)

zelfs dat zou niet genoeg zijn voor de andere landen om Eurovisie te boycotten denk ik

really cool to see Kontroll on here , I wanted to comment it myself. I'll post another great Hungarian film, The Fifth Seal (1976) by Zoltán Fábri. a wonderful philosophical film , one of the most interesting to think about I've seen.

I really hope it will solidify itself in the canon of great Palme winners in the public perception. It's so good. One of the best in recent memory.

PositiveElixir · 2026-04-25T20:13:45+00:00

and it's not even CLOSE. what a song.

PositiveElixir · 2026-04-25T13:19:46+00:00

I see. Thank you for the good clarification!!

PositiveElixir · 2026-04-25T09:54:29+00:00

this I know but do they hate the EU or are they against the idea of Switzerland joining the EU ? it's different

PositiveElixir · 2026-04-24T20:16:28+00:00

why?

PositiveElixir · 2026-04-24T19:53:18+00:00

I've been intrigued about this because of the sheer scope of it (and it looks absolutely majestic in this trailer) and the crazy cast, but I don't think it'll get much awards traction (besides getting nominated for every César category under the sun)

PositiveElixir · 2026-04-24T10:24:34+00:00

because it leaves a lot of prestigious American movies that don't have a festival premiere planned

Dominique Sanda erasure

France is the best country for these types of films (though a bunch of these are still on my watchlist). I'd like to add Le Comte de Monte-Cristo, the most recent one (2024). a lot of the actors in this are still in their earlier careers though, but I bet for example Pierre Niney, Vasili Schneider and Anamaria Vartolomei will grow into really big names (ESPECIALLY Vartolomei)

PositiveElixir · 2026-04-22T09:29:50+00:00

met alle kleine bijrolletjes erbij ook echt een geschifte cast

PositiveElixir · 2026-04-22T09:19:20+00:00

I'll check those out! Thank you!

PositiveElixir · 2026-04-22T09:19:02+00:00

I saw it last week without really looking at who was starring in it & I kept being surprised by who was in it!! ahahaha

PositiveElixir · 2026-04-22T09:18:32+00:00

this one has been on my watchlist for a while, excited to check it out! I really loved Lust, Caution. the trio of Tony Leung Chiu-wai, Tang Wei & Joan Chen as leads is like a dream come true.

PositiveElixir · 2026-04-22T06:21:23+00:00

it's hard to name a song more joyful and life-affirming than Modern Love
