Ranked in order of preference
La Vie de Jésus (Directors' Fortnight: France, dir. Bruno Dumont) -
Private Confessions (Un Certain Regard: Sweden, dir. Liv Ullmann) -
Dissolves initial impression of familiar Nordic drama, putting desire, deception, and faith through new turns.
Love and Death on Long Island (Un Certain Regard: UK, dir. Richard Kwietniowski) -
Slighter than I remembered, but still sweet, sad, funny, and quietly sophisticated. Hurt really excels. (full review)
