Best Foreign Language film (winner first)

I've only seen The Last Metro and that was in high school. Apart from that and Kagemusha, anything else worth watching?

There needs to be some network for collecting ridiculously obscure movie props. That way, you can get your Same Time, Next Year San Francisco Gazette and I could get my Goin' Down the Road Satie vinyl.

if you take the five directors' career oeuvres, Redford's is the worst

Scorsese's been uneven the entire time, with the peaks and valleys strewn in every direction.
My vote for Ordinary People had nothing to do with Redford.

I can't argue with Mary Steenburgen winning Best Supporting Actress this year, but not nominating Dyan Cannon for Honeysuckle Rose strikes me as a sizable oversight--she's excellent, even if I wish the script hadn't called for her to let Willie Nelson off the hook at the last second. Very much one of those early-'80s films (Melvin and Howard, Coal Miner's Daughter) that feels like a continuation of the '70s; except for a far-fetched sequence in Mexico with Nelson and Slim Pickens, quite liked it. I see that Amy Irving got a couple of those worst-awards for her performance. Silly--she's fine.

Eileen Brennan – Private BenjaminEva Le Gallienne – ResurrectionDiana Scarwid – Inside Moves
Haven't seen any of these--could one of them have been bypassed to make room for Cannon?
― clemenza, Sunday, 3 September 2017 16:10 (six years ago) link
I watched Scarwid in both Mommie Dearest and Inside Moves within a short time frame around '83 or so, and remember thinking she was pretty good in the latter, not so much in the former. But I don't know if my opinions were worth much then or now.
