The latest product of this movement is a film called "Festen" (meaning "The Party", I do not know what the official English translation is), an absolutely brilliant (and difficult) film which won the Cannes Jury Prize in 1998 but was not nominated for an Oscar--this says more about the Oscar voters than the film. If you have a chance, be sure to see it. Nathan Eric Welch wrote: > I think it's more like black and white is not "real." It abstracts the > subject.
