Interesting article. I'm glad I got to read it before seeing the film again (which wouldn't have happened if the screener hadn't been borrowed by yet another friend before I could get a chance at a 2nd viewing).

Well, having finally seen it again ... it is indeed a lovely, poinant, moving and beautiful film ... full of magic, but - alas - so full of sadness. Waaaah.

Ken and I finally went to see it, and LOVED it. I haven't been that moved and captivated by a film since Lord of the Rings.

I hope it takes many awards. It deserves to win every nomination.

Predictions are that it won't get much beyond foreign film. Apparently it was released too late and early buzz wasn't enough to get guild or press to see it before they finished their awards. And that's really too bad... poor planning on the promotional staff's part, IMO-- it was one of the best movies I've seen in quite awhile.

They really had no idea how to market the film. When Heather and I went on the first day, they handed out questionnaires asking us what TV shows we watch, what websites we visit, etc. I guess a few other people filled in similar responses, because a week later there were ads for it on The Daily Show.

Despite that, the producers and studio are thrilled it's doing as well as it is ... phenomenal and unexpected for a foreign language film.

Speaking of which, I like that the Golden Globes allow U.S.-produced movies to compete for Best Foreign Language Film. I think it was the first time I had missed only one of the nominees, instead of having seen only one of the nominees.

Yeah, because the people in the theater I was a didn't know it was in Spanish.

So, I saw the film last night and what has been said by many here rings true to me. It's a briliant film full of vision unlike anything I've seen in a while. I think it's a beautiful fairytale that reminded me alot of Alice In Wonderland.
