A few really popular selections (White Ribbon, Mr. Nobody) with guaranteed distribution made it on the list this year due to sheer awesomeness. I’m a little surprised that I only have one French language movie, but I seem to have filled my normal quota of asian films quite nicely.

Notes

on the film Mr. Nobody: Simply reading the description for this film makes me smile. Very excited about this.
on the film The White Ribbon: haneke’s films are always tense, enthralling affairs. might see this even though sony classics has picked this up.
on the film Mother: i just have a good feeling about this movie.
on the film Air Doll: Kore-eda’s take on Lars and the Real Girl? I’m sold.
on the film Independencia: Shot using b+w film stock and early cinematic techniques, and entirely against studio backdrops. Reminds me of von trier’s dogville.
on the film Huacho: follows the modern struggles of a rural chilean family. chilean neo-realism?
on the film Deliver Us from Evil: Todd Brown of TwitchFilm seemed to really like this film. That’s good enough for me.
on the film Toad's Oil: herb recommended this
on the film Soul Kitchen: very enjoyable film
on the film Valhalla Rising: this viking epic looks promising. trailer has this otherworldly look to it.
on the film A Prophet: won the grand prix at cannes. story sounds really interesting, but it’s probably picked up for distribution. might see it anyways.
on the film Lourdes: I want to see this based on the production stills alone.
on the film Les Derniers jours du monde: production stills look amazing
on the film The Double Hour: This looks like a smart thriller.
on the film The Dirty Saints: post apocalyptic
on the film Same Same But Different: cameron bailey compares this to Lost in Translation and In the Mood for Love, two amazing films.
on the film Partir: kristin scott thomas gave one of the most memorable performances last year in Il y a longtemps…
on the film Like You Know It All: Charming South Korean movie about film and auteurism. Stream of consciousness, light-hearted.
on the film The Wind Journeys: accordion duels!
on the film Gaia: i love the stills for this movie.
on the film Police, Adjective: my obligatory romanian film
on the film Wheat: Picking this based on the stills alone.
on the film Symbol: total madness.
on the film Agora: this movie looks sick
on the film Micmacs: gala presentation, might be difficult to get a ticket for. probable wide distribution as well.
on the film Fish Tank: this looks really interesting. won the jury prize at cannes
on the film The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus: This movie looks terrific but unfortunately I’m going to have to wait until the wide release to see it.
on the film Face: this movie has the potential to be mind blowingly awesome, or an art house POS.
