(Hopefully I'll someday get around to watching the Lucas Belvaux Trilogy that I've had sitting there for about 8 months. As well as probably 150 other titles.)

 

[Arman]

abstain
Irreversible [I almost abstain on this one too since I nominated both films ]

 

[SteveGon]

You're probably right on that.

Just got Ozon's Under the Sand and the silent French serial Judex. Vive le French movies!

 

[Lew Crippen]

The Umbrellas of Cherbourg


Sorry to have missed out on so much of the nominating process, but we were moving. Even though we are renting and not yet in our home (and I don't have my computer) I should be able to participate a bit more from now on.

 

[SteveGon]

I'll abstain on both matchups (no UOC and to avoid a tie in bracket four).

The Umbrellas of Cherbourg and Irreversible advance.

I think I'm the one missing something - a brain. :b

Abstain

 

[Bill McA]

Betty Blue
A Very Long Engagement

 

[Brook K]

another double abstain, I've only seen Vagabond which is fantastic and should advance deep into the tournament.

I'd vote for Vagabond but it'd probably only tie things up. Argh.

 

[Arman]

abstain

 

[Rich Malloy]

Vagabond
abstain (no "A Very Long Engagement")
