A Patch of Blue was fine, though I wish it had done more with the premise, but The Lost Letter is a delight through and through. I often didn't really follow what was going on, but I also didn't care at all because it was so wonderfully offbeat.

The Lost Letter is no longer fresh in my mind, but i remember loving it. Like mesnalty, I thought A Patch of Blue was decent. Nothing in it wowed me. I had no major issues.

Last day and all of two votes in both the Round 5 duels - so the "Cup" limps to a close.
Have a look at all the picnics of the intellect: These conceptions! These discoveries! Perspectives! Subtleties! Publications! Congresses! Discussions! Institutes! Universities! Yet: one senses nothing but stupidity. - Gombrowicz, Diary
