Pretentious, dull, horribly acted religious fable. At least François Lafarge in his tight pants is nice to look at.
:O
There are no words.
1/10 :laugh:

Yes, it was. It wasn't so much Bresson that had me put it at the top of my Netflix queue but, rather, the fact that I've lately been seeking out films that explore the theme of cruelty, which has been much on my mind lately.Okri wrote:Yeah, I didn't care for it either.

I agree with Tee, and I'm someone who thinks that Victor/Victoria is by far the best film of 1982. The movie opened in March, nearly a year before the nominations, although, in those pre-screener videos days, MGM brought it back to theatres late in the year (at least in L.A., where I was living at the time). And there were quite a few trade ads (by that era's standards).Mister Tee wrote:Magilla, I do have to slightly dissent on Andrews as sure-fire nominee that year. I know in some circles Victor/Victoria is viewed as a masterwork, but it wasn't unanimously acclaimed, it was released early in the year, and its box-office was only so-so. I was in fact surprised it did so well in total nominations; I'd expected Preston, score, sets and costumes for certain, but the rest were on the bubble.
Sure you do. It was a consolation prize. They couldn't give her best actress over Meryl Streep so they did the next best thing.Reza wrote:I could easily replace Jessica Lange on this list with Dana Hill.Big Magilla wrote:For my money, though, Dana Hill outshines both Keaton and Finney but with a supporting actress line-up as strong as the one that year (Close, Garr, Lange, Stanley, Warren), she didn't have a chance in hell of being nominated.
Still don't understand why Lange was not only nominated but also won the award.
