I agree, it's disturbing. |

You guys are all so great. Thanks for the accolades. Check out The Last Man in Brooklyn by the same director, Roberto Bentivegna. I'm quite different in that one, but almost as perverted.
Go to youtube and access "The Last Man in Brooklyn." |

I've been checking out the Oscar animated shorts on youtube.
Even Pigeons Go to Heaven is there in its entirety, with English subtitles and is cute and worth seeing. I don't think it will win, though. The competition is extremely stiff. It's about a con man who tries to defraud an old man by using a machine to show him a glimpse of heaven.
Moya Lyubov is also there, in Russian without subtitles and is breathtaking. The same animator, Alexander Petov won in 1999 for "The Old Man and the Sea," which is equally beautiful. That animated feature was almost 30000 oil paintings on glass, and it looks like he used the same technique this time. (I believe computers were used to blend images.)
Peter and the Wolf has a promotional trailer there. This one was done with stop motion, puppets, and CGI and was extremely ambitious and expensive to make. It looks excellent.
Madame Tutli-Putli (a trailer and promotional features) looks like outstanding stop-motion animation; I can't tell what the story is.
The fifth nominee, I Met the Walrus has a soundtrack that is a 14-year old kid interviewing John Lennon. The animation looks like pen-and-ink sketches and is inventive, but the sound is awful and I dislike the short.
My guess is that Even Pigeons Go to Heaven and I Am the Walrus are instant also-rans, and any of the other three could win. It may come down to the story on Moya Lyubov and Madame Tutli-Putli. |

| Catherine Breillat's An Old Mistress is a knockout, a total evisceration of the period drama, with a performance of shamanistic intensity from Asia Argento. |

Dargis with a 4.5 star review of 4 Months, 3 Weeks, 2 Days
Opens Friday in the remote burgh of Manhattan, NY. Definitely worth seeing.
I'm still wondering about the exactitude of the title. Seems noone else is curious about that. |

Billy is so great in all of these films. And I know he'd agree that Roberto would be so happy we were discussing them. He is a young and brilliant film maker. |
