Re: 2013 poll
No one else is giving Yeon Sang-ho's The Fake any notice? Not seen or not liked? It's easily my favorite of the year, nothing else so far even close.

Re: 2013 poll
I should warn you it's animated, but different in tone from most animated movies, more a bleak and brutal noirish thing rather than especially fantastic.
Here's the trailer:
http://youtu.be/a5AFq3NezKA
I would say that The Fake is probably the only animated movie I would even chance on recommending as something you might like though, but it's a bet I well might lose of course.

Thanks greg, I'll try to see it too.
I saw L'inconnu au lac (Giraudie) just now and I must say, a bit confronting, with all those cocks in my face and gay male sex, even fully erect penises at times. It was a glimpse into a world I knew existed (gay beats) but had no real conception of before. The tension and foreboding, without which it would have only amounted to a cheap porno, were well handled and quite thrilling.

Re: 2013 poll
man, aadhi baghavan is a really interesting trainwreck. ameer sultan made a few of the most interesting tamil films of the 2000s, super focused, low to mid budget, very rural films that (especially with the success of paruthiveeran in 2007) had a big hand in changing what was commercially possible in a tamil movie.
so for his paruthiveeran follow up he makes...a bizarre mish mash of tamil masala, international b grade action, '90s john woo...there are genuinely great sequences throughout but almost nothing holds together, nearly every top level creative decision is a little baffling.
this is a movie where for the first half everyone speaks a mix of english, telugu, and a diaspora tamil that even lots of native speakers would need subs for, and then when it shifts to bombay post interval we get a full screen title card telling us that the hindi characters will be dubbed in tamil for clarity? sadly ameer hasn't made a movie since.

To please the majority is the requirement of the Planet Cinema. As far as I'm concerned, I don't make a concession to viewers, these victims of life, who think that a film is made only for their enjoyment, and who know nothing about their own existence.

Re: 2013 poll
Quito 2023 - Izurieta, Moscoso (Ecuador)
Obscure enough to be worth mentioning, but it's not going to make my list. Near-future dystopia on an indie budget, science fiction with no SFX. The strategies they used to put their work across (chilly/dirty blue filters, claustrophobic mise en scene, etc) were curiously similar to a Hungarian dystopia I saw fairly recently called O-Bi, O-Ba, The End Of Civilization. How well you should dig this one is probably predetermined by how much you're into dystopian fic as a subgenre.
