J.T. Posted September 29, 2016 Posted September 29, 2016 Wow. Voices from Chernobyl will either enrage you or send you running for an entire bottle of Tylenol to swallow. It is a great movie, but really really really hard to watch.

And talking about weird - the fact that it is in Foreign Film instead of Documentary...
RIPPA Posted September 29, 2016 Author Posted September 29, 2016 I also see that Desierto was submitted by Mexico. I have seen the trailers again recently since I think it is about to get its US release and I am still trying to decide if it qualifies as Horror

Probably has a better shot of winning as a Foreign Film. If it were entered in the Best Documentary Category, it would have to compete with movies like Batkid Begins, Hitchcock / Truffaut, and Meru. I will totally lose my shit if Under The Shadow is nominated for Best Foreign Film. Hopefully it would go on to win the Foreign Film Oscar that A Girl Walks Home Alone At Night should've gotten. 15 minutes ago, RIPPA said: I also see that Desierto was submitted by Mexico.

I am not sure if it is horror or satire. Hell, if it were shown at a Trump rally, it might be considered to be the feel good comedy of the year, I guess.
Curt McGirt Posted September 29, 2016 Posted September 29, 2016 Looks like it falls under horror in a Deliverance/Hills Have Eyes kinda way. I think it might've already been posted but the trailer for Dog Eat Dog that led me too got a good laugh. Nic Cage and Willem Dafoe as inept ex-cons doing dirt should be pretty fun. Directed by Paul Schrader too, no less (maybe he can make up for The Canyons here)
(BP) Posted September 29, 2016 Posted September 29, 2016 A lot of those are on my list to get to before Hulu pulls the Criterion Collection. I'm so anxious about it you'd think I didn't have real problems.

So, I liked it and thought it was worth a watch. A lot of other people (even in an audience of Canadians) had problems with it. I got the impression they were looking for an insightful political message, or something a little nuanced, and Desierto is not the place to find that.
Curt McGirt Posted September 30, 2016 Posted September 30, 2016 I'm surprised he didn't put a Bava movie on there
RIPPA Posted September 30, 2016 Author Posted September 30, 2016 Just for the record - I have no idea how old that list is and if it is even legit. Just saw the tweet with no context
