Is it me or do the NY Film Critics seem to nail it and the Golden Globes kind-of don't?
Scorsese snubbed again for Directing honors. What is going on?
The man's directing skills are never in question.

Idris Elba may get a trophy. His role as Mandela was timely.

I think the NYFC is a more sophisticated group, though handicappers seem to say their Best Picture choice usually does NOT win. That doesn't mean it's a bad choice though. Anyway we don't know what the Golden Globes actual awards will be yet. Wait till next year. There seems to be almost as much rallying around AMERICAN HUSTLE as around Russell's earlier late release SILVER LININGS PLAYBOOK, but I don't think it's the kind of uplifting crowd-pleaser that will win over the oldsters in the Motion Picture Academy. I'm not a handicapper though.

Indeed they lucked out in a macabre way with the Mandela film since Mandela died just before its release, with wordwide free publicity.

The secrecy surrounding Scorsese's WOLF OF WALL STREET may not have helped it with awards and nominations, or maybe it just isn't a very appealing film. It looks like a glitzier version of what I thought was a great little film, a serious role for Vin Diesel by the way, BOILER ROOM (Ben Younter, 2000). It is odd that Scorsese gets passed over. In some areas he has a lot of clout, I thought.

European Film Awards, Berlin, 2013

Sorrentino's THE GREAT BEAUTY was the big winner.


Paolo Sorrentino’s “The Great Beauty” from Italy claimed three top prizes at the 26th annual European Film Awards on Saturday in Berlin, where it won for best picture and best director for Mr. Sorrentino, and best actor for Toni Servillo. The film follows Mr. Servillo’s character after his 65th birthday as he takes in the sights and sounds of Rome. Voted on by 2,900 members of the European Film Academy, Joshua Oppenheimer’s “The Act of Killing” won the prize for best documentary, and Veerle Baetens took the best actress award for her role in the Belgian film “The Broken Circle Breakdown.” “Blue Is the Warmest Color,” which won the Palme d’Or at the Cannes International Film Festival in May, was shut out.--Adam W.

THE WOLF OF WALL STREET is another unexpected film from Scorsese. I can never predict what he will do next, and I like that.
I will see that one without question. It runs 3 hours long. (and cost $100 Million to make!)
Interesting to learn that Ridley Scott was offered this film first, and that Marty shot it on FILM, with the same lenses he used on
Bringing Out The Dead.

I might also see 47 Ronin Christmas day. I've seen the trailer and it's a far FAR cry from the original.
But it may have something worthwhile in it.

[oscar jubis]

I re-watched a few of my very favorite movies released this year and the only one that depreciated was #4 (list posted) The Act of Killing. I think there is value in the film's outrageous conceit: to persuade a group of Indonesian, right-wing, mass killers to recreate or dramatize their atrocities and thus exhibit their sadistic impulses and joy in notoriety. It's a most outrageous documentary, but not substantial enough for more than one viewing. It works for me as a demonstration of aspects of human nature usually concealed but it feels narrow in scope. The events here need more context, or some kind of counterpoint. I would have drawn out parallels between US foreign policy towards Indonesia in the 60s and other parts of the world where the US allowed and encouraged right-wing dictators to kill with impunity whoever was perceived as the enemy under the pretext of anti-communism.

[Chris Knipp]

Good that you revised your opinion. But I pointed out more things wrong with the over-praised and widely misread THE ACT OF KILLING than you mention in my review (http://www.filmleaf.net/showthread.php?3441-New-Directors-New-Films-and-Film-Comment-Selects-2013&p=29809#post29809)for New Directors/New Films early this year. I'm so fair you can hardly tell how much I hated THE ACT OF KILLING but if you read closely you'll find I questioned all of it and found it tasteless and repulsive. Bizarre and grotesque documentaries" always get a lot of attention. Ever see MONDO CANE?

[Chris Knipp]

Oscar, this isn't where you put your list, which was here. (http://www.filmleaf.net/showthread.php?3626-Best-movies-of-2013-so-far&p=31430#post31430) Or was there some other list? I don't even see THE ACT OF KILING. I had meant this thread to be for collective voted lists.
Fiction Features:

I. Paradise: Faith (Austria)
II. Before Midnight (USA), Here and There (Mexico) and You Ain’t Seen Nothing Yet (France)
III. Beyond the Hills (Romania), Blue is the Warmest Color (France), Frances Ha (USA), Like Someone in Love (France/Japan), Lore (Germany), and Post Tenebras Lux (Mexico)

Documentaries

Leviathan (USA), Museum Hours (Austria/USA), Stories We Tell (Canada), 56 Up (United Kingdom), Room 237 (US)
I could watch any of those docs again (I have not seen Room 237 though). I hae watched POST TENEBRAS LUX twice. My sense of it is so tenuous though I left it off my lists so far. I've partially rewatched LEVIATHON. In a sense watching any one of Apted's UP series is rewatching earlier ones; that's the trouble with them. But I love them anyway. The gentle MUSEUM HOURS one could rewatch parts of at any time. One might eventually get tired of STORIES WE TELL but not before rewatching it a few times I guess.

Leos Carax's MAUVAIS SANG has been reissued. I have rewatched it several times. My feeling is always that a movie that is more about style than story you can pick up and rewatch at any point, any time. I have watched Farhadi's THE PAST/LE PASSÉ twice. I can't say I totally wanted to. There is a lot in BLUE IS THE WARMEST COLOR and one can rewatch it for technique but after repetitions of some scenes they are going to seem pretty obvious. Kechiche is a loving craftsman but he's not always very original, in this one.

[oscar jubis]

I was referring specifically to the ranking of The Act of Killing in the poll you posted immediately before my comment. It's obvious that many of those polled by Film Comment regard it as a great film, for it to be ranked as the fourth best film of the year in a poll that includes both fictional and documentary features. I think your dismissal of the film is too facile, even though we both like it less than the consensus.

[Chris Knipp]

I beg to suggest that your own "dismissal" of my evaluation and review itself is "too facile."

I may dislike THE ACT OF KILLING more than you. I certainly distrust it. But I have given it my careful consideration. It was a painful process to evaluate this film. I watched every minute of it with the utmost attention from beginning to end. I researched its background before writing the first word of my review. How is that "facile"?

I call readers/viewers' attention to a review (http://www.insideindonesia.org/weekly-articles/review-an-act-of-manipulation)in an Indonesian source by Robert Cribb, a professor of Asian history and politics at the Australian National University who has studied and written about the history of these events. Professor Cribb has made Indonesian massacres and their origins one of his primary topics of research. He questions the veracity of the latter, "repentant" scenes, and points out the incompleteness and inaccuracy of the depiction of the massacres -- specifically the focus on the group of aging gangsters Oppenheimer had befriended and gained access to, to the exclusion of the military. Cribb explains how he finds the film "deeply misleading." I consider it also tasteless. But of curse for students of the grim period in Indonesian history it has now become a film they have to watch (note that there are two quite different versions). I didn't previously cite Cribb but I think I made all this clear in my original review.

I fail to see what is "facile" or merely a "dismissal" in my views about this film.

The Golden Globes are out this week. Winners below in bold.

Best features: 12 YEARS A SLAVE: you've got to suffer this year to see the Oscar hopefuls; but then, there's AMERICAN HUSTLE, so you can have some fun too. MATTHEW MCCAUGHNHEY: will he ever look fit and handsome again, and will I ever learn to spell his name? Supporting actor JARED LEHTO. Looks like he didn't dress up for the awards; maybe he couldn't decide whether to go in drag or not? Supporting actress: This "drama" vs. "musical or comedy" split allows the voters to hedge their bets. But they drop it for Director and Screenplay; only one winner allowed for that. Logic? And that for me really hurts, since I have problems with both choices. Best Original Score: hopefully you didn't notice it, but unfortunately toward the end you probably did, thought it wasn't as obtrusieve as GRAVITY's. Consider: did it make sense to nominate THE WIND RISES for Best Foreign Language Film and not Best Animated Feature Film (instead)? Choice that pleases me (but it fits with European awards elsewhere): choosing THE GREAT BEAUTY as Best Foreign. For all the TV winners (including Michael Douglas for BEHIND THE CHANDELIER) see the Golden Glob site (http://www.goldenglobes.com/golden_globe_winners) or the Wikipedia article. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/71st_Golden_Globe_Awards) Howler: choice of HER as best screenplay. Will PHILOMENA be the more safe and sane Academy selection? I wonder for Best Director at the Oscars, they will still opt for Cuaron, or shift to one of the other possibilities?
