Yeh lol Tsai Ming Liang can’t help himself, good for that too!
I guess Blanchett’s TRUTH is held for 2016? It’s on zero festival lists and I heard it’s really good. SPC probably realizes CAROL’s too strong a competitor in the Best Actress race.
Hopefully Brady Corbet will use everything he learned from Haneke and Lars von Trier
Fuckin Charlie Kaufman!!! I didn’t know Brady Corbet was directing films. He seems to be having an interesting career in film lately.
I didn’t even realize there was another Tsai coming! Can’t wait for it.
EQUALS in Competition! And what about Laurie Anderson??
They sure love Sokurov. (So do I)
Trapero and Guadagnino, yeah! Hooper and Egoyan, bleah!!!
BOOM!
(ahem, right? I mean there’s Guadagnino, and the others.)
