"These are the movies that are preoccupying the conversations that [have been happening] at the water cooler, in part because they are the most interesting films of the year -- in any language." So says N.Y. Times Oscar guy David Carr (a.k.a., "the Bagger") about the five nominees for Best Foreign Language Film, and, if you follow the link, N.Y. Times columnist Caryn James as well.

Hmmm..."Pan's," yes. The other 4? I don't think that I've heard a single conversation about the. Most of the talk seems to be about Children of Men, The Departed, and Dreamgirls.

There's be more conversation if the films were actually available for viewing. "The Lives of Others" just opened today in SF and "Days of Glory" just got a review on Salon. Will they capture even a fraction of the B.O. that "Pan's" has? Let's hope so, though it won't likely happen unless there's an upset in the category.
