Prediction

Not until the last years of college, and fairly recently, did I believe there could be films that would connect with me as strongly as the ones I watched when I was younger. I felt confident and stubbornly defensive in the films I claimed to be my own little niche. This all changed when I saw the works of Tran Anh Hung and more than ever I'm excited to explore more filmmakers. It was a long, rewarding wait to see There Will Be Blood because, for me, it was a return to the excited 13 year old who was just discovering the beauty of this medium. And now another wait begins and until then I'm eager to see what new works are yet to be discovered; but I assure everyone that the best film of 2008 will be Je Vien Avec la Pluie (I Come With the Rain).
