INTERNATIONAL CINEPHILE SOCIETY NOMINATIONS ANNOUNCED

The International Cinephile Society always pleases me with its choices. Aside from a peculiar predilection for Xavier Dolan's dour Laurence Anyways, there's plenty to smile about with their choices for the best of 2013. There's considerable support for Her and Blue Is the Warmest Colour, and some technical love shown for Leviathan and Blancanieves. And a wisely-chosen Best Picture Not Released in 2013 (we're taking that to mean the US, I expect, even though this is the International Cinephile Society) features several excellent films. Winners will be announced late in awards season, on the 23rd of February.
