and thanks for the heads up about Princess Cyd being on Netflix - I missed that one at festivals last year & in its brief theatrical run last summer.

sorry, Gukbe

Just watched On Body and Soul. It was completely different to anything I had imagined it would be...sort of a muted, magic realist melodrama. What a bizarre career the director seems to have had. Does anyone know her other work and if it's at all similar in feel to this? The whole experience was quite overwhelming! That definitely shakes up my top 10.

There's a magical realist feel to all of it, but the muted feeling is new. My 20th Century is a forgotten gem, the rest is not really that good.
― Frederik B, Sunday, 4 March 2018 12:31 (six years ago) link
Thanks! I’ll definitely watch it based on that. Mutedness isn’t something I usually appreciate (although definitely in this context), so I’ll be interested to see what peaks she can reach!
Best wishes to you, Gukbe.

On Body and Soul was not released in the US til 2018, i believe
but by all means let the goddamn Oscar nominations lead you
― ice cream social justice (Dr Morbius), Sunday, 4 March 2018 14:53 (six years ago) link
It's weird imo that you'd assume people are led by oscar noms as opposed to, say, release dates in the countries we live inI know you're very strict about films not being considered to exist until they have been shown in the theatre nearest your apartment tho

Feels bad, having movies come out first in other countries, doesn't it?
― imago, Sunday, 4 March 2018 15:07 (six years ago) link
that's a good criterion, wins

On Body and Soul's reputation seems much grown since it was released in UK cinemas. I found it more of a curio than a film of the year.
― Alba, Sunday, 4 March 2018 16:44 (six years ago) link
I liked it fine, but it's not making my list.
― Frederik B, Sunday, 4 March 2018 17:03 (six years ago) link
A friend messaged to tell me that she had also watched On Body and Soul last night. I think this means that I am a deer.
― tangenttangent, Sunday, 4 March 2018 21:23 (six years ago) link
Best wishes to you, Gukbe. Is it ok if I send a revised ballot? I've been able to see a couple more 2017 releases since I sent my first one in.
― WilliamC, Monday, 5 March 2018 02:24 (six years ago) link
Yeah, if anyone wants to revise their ballot, go ahead.
― Gukbe, Monday, 5 March 2018 09:03 (six years ago) link
All the best, Gukbe.
― xyzzzz__, Monday, 5 March 2018 09:08 (six years ago) link
Bump. Final 3 days.
― Gukbe, Friday, 9 March 2018 08:32 (six years ago) link
Voted!

Still hoping to squeeze in Coco before I resubmit. Is it Sunday 7pm EST again?
― Alba, Friday, 9 March 2018 10:50 (six years ago) link
11pm est
― Gukbe, Friday, 9 March 2018 23:28 (six years ago) link
So glad I saw Coco in time.
Sorry for sending four versions of my ballot, Gukbe. That really is it now.
― Alba, Sunday, 11 March 2018 17:37 (six years ago) link
sent!

Putting together my ballot I found it was a better year than I thought, for me: few obvious standouts but a bunch of films I liked quite well. I had to cut a few for space that I liked about as much as anything in the lower part of my ballot
― scotti pruitti (wins), Sunday, 11 March 2018 20:43 (six years ago) link
just sent mine in
― Dan S, Sunday, 11 March 2018 21:56 (six years ago) link

lmao I just realised I completely forgot about new haneke
― scotti pruitti (wins), Monday, 12 March 2018 08:13 (six years ago) link
I remembered that I'd forgotten about it.
― Alba, Monday, 12 March 2018 08:48 (six years ago) link
it was only released here last week, for a one-week twice-a-day run in one theater with broken seats

I know that sounds like a metaphor but it's not.
i remembered to skip it
― ice cream social justice (Dr Morbius), Wednesday, 14 March 2018 01:28 (six years ago) link
I'd missed the post about the life stuff. Sorry, Gukbe! Hope you're OK.
― Cherish, Sunday, 18 March 2018 18:04 (six years ago) link
Apologies for the delay. It's all tallied. I need to find time this week for the rollout. Got work and doctor's appointments and prep for an impromptu trip plus moving, so I can't guarantee a good UK/US friendly time. Will aim for Tuesday and Thursday.
― Gukbe, Monday, 19 March 2018 00:34 (six years ago) link
just post whenever you can, tension is fun
― just noticed tears shaped like florida. (sic), Monday, 19 March 2018 04:49 (six years ago) link
Tension? What tension? We all know that Florida Project and Dunkirk will win.
Best of wishes, Gukbe, don't worry about Danish time :)
― Frederik B, Monday, 19 March 2018 09:18 (six years ago) link
No worries if you can't make Tuesday or Thursday, Gukbe. Roll it out when you can.
― xyzzzz__, Monday, 19 March 2018 21:43 (six years ago) link

Is there any desire to re-poll if gukbe is not returning?

― flappy bird, Wednesday, 11 July 2018 15:57 (five years ago) link
I still have my ballot, and now I can include the IMDB 2017 films that didn't open until this year. Bonus.
― I Never Promised You A Hose Harden (Eric H.), Wednesday, 11 July 2018 16:18 (five years ago) link
