3/4 months in and my favourite films of the year are Godard films from '78, '96 and '98 and a Manoel De Oliveira films shot in '82.
Whatever happens a few if not all of these will go into the 2016 ballot.

holy fucken shit @ Arabian Nights pt 1, it is absolutely incredible, made me laugh and cry uncontrollably, and it's just the first goddamn third of the movie
cannot wait for the other two. felt more legitimately close to the spirit of bunuel than anything else i've seen recently

It gets even better in part 2 and especially 3 :)

First part is easily the best, the mock fantasy trial sequence in 2 and all the bird-singing stuff in 3 were pretty patience-testing, imho

This reminded me mostly of Bamako (the trial of the Cockerel), bits of Xala and Salo (troika and negotiators and traitors by the big house in the sea with young women and erections around).
Troika is probably too raw and Gomes hasn't managed to cohere this into anything. The director's cameo and remarks were pathetic. Towards the end the doc bits turned out fine although the eloquently put testimony was surrounded by junk. Wasn't convinced for a second he wasn't trying to adapt Arabian Nights, it looked like he gave up and made up excuses. Only if he had relaxed about it.
