de Catalunya were recently let out of the bag (I missed the Festival again
this year…dammit…next year I must be there with Spanish bells on).
Nice to see that Park Chan-wook’s bitter cinematic pill OLDBOY won for
BEST FILM
(read my review of it here). It’s one of my
top flick’s of the year thus far! THE MACHINIST also
scooped up a couple of prizes (go Bale go!).
Man, I gotta see that film ASAP! Find a list of the Main Award Winners below and check out the Stiges Website
