Regarding Tropfest: so I went to the website and noticed that "The Money" won. (We couldn't be arsed staying around for the announcement last night. We just bolted for bed first chance we got.) Good choice there. It was a very, very good little film, slickly-told, professionally put together, wonderfully natural, rather Australian and amusing.

I was also glad to see "Yin" get in there in the People's Choice, because it was wonderfully warm and touching and very sweetly done.

But I'm kinda dissed that neither "One Down" nor "Wild Thing" got lauded officially. Because they were my favourites of the lot.

"Wild Thing" was very short, very punchy, a real mental slap out of any sort of languishing. It made me sit up straight and gape for a good three minutes afterwards. It was clean and sharp and brilliant.

"One Down" was smokey and twiney and clever and amusing, then increasingly freaky and disturbing. Viscerally compelling and inevitable. The only downer was that the subtitles were too small to see.
