You mean after the Oscar show where it won Best Foreign Language Film?

HarryGoldfarb wrote:Don't know where to place this... I've just seen The Tin Drum... all I can say is that while foreign films usually are great to show us different kinds of movie-making, different views on social issues and original stories, way far from the standard Hollywood ones, this film is weird to say the least. I haven't read the Grass book it is based on, I guess it should be a better reading expierence (magic realism almost always works better on paper). The source surely is a hard one to transfer into a film, and probably the director mastered it... but I actually wasn't moved by the film, I didn't understand what was the point on telling this specific story... A good cast work, special the adult triangle and a magnificient score by Jarre (it could have been better without the eventual annoying anachronic electro-sound)... Overall it was good, but weirder than good. Maybe I missed something but it ain't necessarily a film I'd like to watch again soon...

Was this the favorite for Foreign Language Film? I mean, after its victory on Cannes surely it was...

The Tin Drum was released theatrically in the U.S. in 1980 and made numerous ten best lists then.

Yes.

Eric wrote:I haven't seen it yet... I am so bad.

No worse than me. The only one on your list I have seen is The Brood. Keep hoping Stalker and Quintet might grace a nearby cinema screen, but I may end up waiting a loooong time.

Eric wrote:Salem's Lot, Harry Sukman

Wasn't Salem's Lot a TV movie?
