There have been so many great movies this year, and I've had the opportunity to see a lot more of them than usual as a member of
a couple different award committees and, of course, the Los Angeles Film -LSB-...]
Films that might have fit this putative strand included the charming but overlong Timeless Stories, co-written and directed by Vasilis Raisis (and winner of the Michael Cacoyannis
Award for Best Greek Film), a story that follows a
couple (played by
different actors at
different stages of the characters» lives) across the temporal loop of their will - they, won't - they relationship from childhood to middle age and back again — essentially Julio Medem - lite, or Looper rewritten by Richard Curtis; Michalis Giagkounidis's 4 Days, where the young antiheroine watches reruns of Friends, works in an underpatronized café, freaks out her hairy stalker by coming on to him, takes photographs and molests invalids as a means of staving off millennial ennui, and causes ripples in the temporal fold, but the film is as dead as she is, so you hardly notice; Bob Byington's Infinity Baby, which may be a «science - fiction comedy» about a company providing foster parents with infants who never grow up, but is essentially the same kind of lame, unambitious, conformist indie comedy that has characterized U.S. independent cinema for way too long — static, meticulously framed shots in pretentious black and white, amoral yet supposedly lovable characters played deadpan by the usual suspects (Kieran Culkin, Nick Offerman, Megan Mullally, Kevin Corrigan), reciting apparently nihilistic but essentially soft - center dialogue, jangly indie music at the end, and a pretty good, if belated, Dick Cheney joke; and Petter Lennstrand's loveably lo - fi Up in the Sky, shown in the Youth Screen section, about a young girl abandoned by overworked parents at a sinister recycling plant, who is reluctantly adopted by a reconstituted family of misfits and marginalized (mostly puppets) who are secretly building a rocket — it's for anyone who has ever loved the Tintin moon adventures, books with resourceful heroines, narratives with oddball gangs, and the legendary episode of Angel where David Boreanaz turned into a Muppet.
Super Mario Odyssey was chosen as Best of Gamescom and Gamescom «Most Wanted» Consumer
Award and other games such as Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle, Metroid: Samus Returns were also selected as winners in a
couple different categories.
Adapted by Ian McEwan from his bestselling novel, On Chesil Beach centers on a young
couple of drastically
different backgrounds in the summer of 1962 (three - time Academy
Award nominee Saoirse Ronan, Dunkirk «s Billy Howle).
