Hi Donal,
The films I most enjoyed this year were:
Garage (Lenny Abrahamson)
Prairie Home Companion (Robert Altman)
Lights in the Dusk (Aki Kaurismäki)
Into the Wild (Sean Penn)
The albums I most enjoyed this year:
Here is the River (Eamon Friel)
This Old Road (Kris Kristofferson)
Exquisite selection… I wonder if Dwoskin’s Nightshots is available somewhere already… I think it was screened at Berlinale too, wasn’t it?
