I do think it's a tad early for me to say it'll be one of my favorites of the year, simply because I think we're going to have one hell of a film fall.<br /><br />Glad you liked the directors list, you should make one too! <br /><br />In terms of filmmaking, I'm enjoying a much needed break from that right now. Slowly marketing Earrings, but that's about it. There are definitely ideas floating around, but that flick drained me.

The natural acting (with all non-professional actors), the cinematography, fantastical elements and even the narration all mixes to form an instant masterpiece of cajon flavor. Loved your favorite Directors list, can't really argue with any, I always put Kubrick at the top personally.

Not the one flick that would change your life this year, but it's still a very magical flick that takes you into places, that you never thought were imaginable before.Dan O.http://www.dttmr.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.com
