Yes for me Moonlight...Sam, great to hear from you. Yes for me Moonlight was nowhere near in the same category as La La Land but I realize that there are many others that violently disagree with me. Great to hear on the Jarmusch, Demy and Yamanaka. And, of course, it is because of you that I first discovered Ozu, the most meaningful cinematic discovery I have had the last 10 years.

I loved LA LA LAND's ebullient recall of THE UMBRELLAS OF CHERBOURG, which you wonderfully encapsulate here. And great work with the other three too--PATERSON was one of my Top 10 films of 2016; I do love that Yamanaka, and of course Ozu's I WAS BORN...BUT is one of his great masterpieces.Sam Julianonoreply@blogger.com
