As glorious as Yearning is, I've seen a few other Naruses that are practically up to that level, and I haven't even seen that many of his yet.

I've seen 19 of the 30 poll options, and like or love all of them except for The Naked Kiss, which I found ridiculous. I'm voting for Red Desert over Shadows of Forgotten Ancestors. Diary of a Chambermaid and A Married Woman from the lower list are also favourites, I prefer the latter to Bande à part.I've wanted to see more films by Rocha and Guerra ever since I read about them in a 1970 book called Second Wave: Newer Than New Wave Names in World Cinema, but I haven't seen these.
I always prefer the translation Woman of the Dunes but "in" is more common
Down at my local cinematheque we call it Woman o' the Dunes cos we don't like to put on airs.
It makes me unreasonably happy that Gertrud and A Hard Day's Night are from the same year.
It's a good thing that Dreyer and Lester exchanged scripts before shooting, Ringo would have really been taxed portraying a former opera singer in Stockholm in the early 20th century.

I get to vote for Kozintsev's Hamlet so I will. Smoktunovsky is outstanding.
