It's been a wild year to date. Picking a top 10 at the end of the year will be very tough.

It's the kind of rating I reserve for repeat viewings over a long period of time.

It was the vote from Mike Leigh in the Sight & Sound poll that got me interested.<br /><br />I'm pretty jealous of Laurence Anyways, I only have myself to blame for not seeing it when I had the chance. No 10's?<br /><br />I have really fond memories of No, it feels like so long ago that I saw it but it's so vivid in my mind. Definite highlight of the recent Perth International Arts Festival.blahblahblah Tobyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13370451386116555733noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4048087291064672035.post-58311884725052404172013-05-05T02:43:41.186+08:002013-05-05T02:43:41.186+08:00I love the dark humor of You, The Living (2007).

If it was fiction I would refer to it as award worthy literature but cinema is the medium rather than the style so doesn't work as well. Any suggestions?blahblahblah Tobyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13370451386116555733noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4048087291064672035.post-70959868851963062332013-05-04T03:00:17.015+08:002013-05-04T03:00:17.015+08:00Nice to see 4 Months, 3 Weeks and 2 Days and Take ...Nice to see 4 Months, 3 Weeks and 2 Days and Take Shelter on here.
