Terrence Malick's The Tree of Life and Lars Von Trier's Melancholia appear to headline the nominees, while Julia Leigh's Sleeping Beauty has received some recent attention also. Personally, I'm quite interested in Nicholas Winding Refn's Drive, starring Ryan Gosling, Carey Mulligan and Christina Hendricks. Here is a trailer for Gus Van Sant's Restless:
Wow, this is a great line-up. I'm most interested in Drive, The Tree of Life, Melancholia, Sleeping Beauty and Restless.
ReplyDeleteIt is a great line-up, and these are the five that stood out for me too. The Dardenne Bros. normally make good films, having won in 1999 (?) for Rosetta, so their film would be worth watching too. And Midnight in Paris of course :-p
ReplyDeleteThe big three for me are almodovar, Von Trier and malick! Should be a good year!
