Brenda Blethyn didnt win an oscar that year either for "Secrets and Lies"
Frances Mcdormand- Fargo" did. You can see a repeat idiosyncratic performance in this years "burn after reading" by the same "American" Director/Screen writer.
Wall-E didnt get nominated for best picture this year, which is more than questionable.
Films with big messages seldom get Oscar praise. Art house films dont pave holywoods pavements in gold..
Is that......Bootstrap Bill Turner??

I love the fact that she falls asleep under the phone. She truly lives for him.

Just as fervent Christians were up in arms about this winning awards at Cannes, they are up in Arms about "Wall-E"......
Discussion is good. Foreign films rock, Von Trier and Watson are both demi-gods! And Dogville is one of the greatest screenplays ever written!!!!
Everyone flock to see "The Idiots"- which is this films follow up and , 2nd film in this thematic trilogy
1. Breaking the Waves
2. The Idiots
3. Dancer in the dark
Enjoy! Movies rock!

This movie was gorgeous! It left me emotionally exhausted. The final image is one of the best movie endings I've ever seen.

If there were justice in the world, people would not see this film as inferior to paintings by Van Gogh.

Great film-making. I love it. It's so raw and yet so captivating - you just don't see that in mainstream cinema.

Una de las películas de amor más tristes que se han hecho. Las 3 horas y más se hacen poco. ¿Hay tanto amor?
