2009 #105 - A Serious Man (dir. Joel Coen, 2009) Marvellous. It’s so rare to see a film with an original script these days, and A Serious Man shows all the craft the Coens can master when they are working on their own material. Forget remakes and Cormac McCarthy, just give us more of this. Please? (poster via dummydonuts) Zoom

2009 #104 Love, Actually (dir. Richard Curtis, 2003) Going from classic 1970s paranoid thrillers  to Korean Catholic vampires, to Richard Curtis in one easy step: my viewing tastes when I’m ill are schizophrenic to say the least. I’d never seen Love, Actually because I don’t like Richard Curtis films - I don’t like the England they show, I don’t like their saccharine scripts, and I don’t like watching great actors being under-used. But Emma Thompson is just so great that she shines even in this bucket of drivel.

2009 #103 Thirst - 박쥐 (dir. Chan-wook Park, 2009) An extraordinarily complex, masterful piece of film-making. (This poster was banned in Korea.)
