The Village Voice occupy an in-between space among critic organisations: not quite one of the crowd of Oscar-baiting critic groups, not quite a highbrow institution a la Cahiers du Cinema or Sight & Sound. And so their end-of-year lists tend to look either like smarter, more imaginative critic groups awards choices, or more limited versions of Cahiers' or Sight & Sound's lists. One curiosity here is that Stories We Tell beats Leviathan in votes in the Documentary category, yet not in the Picture category, despite being kind of less of a documentary than Leviathan. Interesting, just. For more details on the voting breakdown, head over to my buddies at Awards Daily.

hmm the voice's list is closer to cahiers and sight and sounds list than it will be to the oscars. and is sight and sound really highbrow. i used to see the magazine a your ultra novice....raises hand. wasn't labeling high brow. i don't know always seemed sigh and sound was next to some more uh academic type film mags.on the mag rack.so i wasn't tagging it highbrow.
ReplyDeletei don't know, if a new mag covered the same ground would it get a highbrow tag ??? guess your tradition/rep rather counts. ;)
Well it's a good deal more highbrow than the Oscars...
