En toen was hte filmfestival, en gingen we nog eens een paar films bekijken. Een paar was in dit geval 23, maar daar treuren we niet om. Ik lijst ze hieronder nog eens op, alle besprekingen zijn onder één link gegroepeerd, mocht u daarin geïnteresseerd zijn.
Een paar filmen bleven bovendrijven, en ook na een week of twee-drie kan ik mij volgende films goed voor de geest halen (en ik zou zelfs een tweede keer durven gaan kijken): The Spectacular Now; Avant l’hiver; All Is Lost; Leones; Shirley: Visions of Reality; en Blue Ruin. Daarnaast kan ik u ook nog deze aanraden: Starlet; La chair de ma chair; Casse-tête chinois; What Maisie Knew; en Inside Llewyn Davis.
