It probably won't stay that way, but right now that's the worst result yet.

I figured you'd have something to say. 
I'm just not that big on either film. As acclaimed as the Hulot films are, they leave me kind of cold. I guess I have a skewed sense of humor - for instance, I find Cries & Whispers hilarious.

Except for maybe Nanook, I think highly of all the competition, but these were pretty easy decisions.

Steve,
Everyone's different, and if you don't see much difference between em, that's that, but if you had to basically just randomly pick one, it's a shame you didn't pick the other.
As far as finding Cries & Whispers hilarious, well I guess that makes more sense than finding it meaningful or understandable or good.
