    Thanks for the link love. I'm glad I watched The Decalogue. Just a few more Woody Allen films, a few anthology films, and a few more new theatrical releases and I can rest.

      @Stephanie: Thank you! If you like Wendy and Lucy, there an 80s film that has a similar mood, directed by Agnes Varda, called Vagabond (1985)

    Great roundup here Chris. Belated thanks for the kind linkage, man, always appreciate it. Man, that TIFF schedule made me wish I live in Toronto! I'm actually gonna be posting a preview of movies that'll be playing at TCFF (our local film fest) and there are some I've been hugely anticipating, fingers crossed one day we'd be at least half as big as TIFF :D

    Thanks again Chris!
