Minotaur (d: Andrey Zvyagintsev)
Parallel Tales (d: Asghar Farhadi)
Switzerland (d: Anton Corbijn)
The Diary of a Chambermaid (d: Radu Jude)
Bucking Fastard (d: Werner Herzog…a kin of Fitzcarraldo?)
Sex and Death at Camp Miasma (d: Jane Schoenbrun…slasher schlock?)
Paper Tiger (d: James Gray)
I don’t believe that Terrence Malick‘s The Way of the Wind will be submitted. I don’t believe Malick is capable of finishing it. I think he’s flaked and dithered himself into a corner, and can’t figure a way out.
