Today came word that Deepa Mehta's Water is Canada's official entry for the best foreign film Oscar. Last year's was C.R.A.Z.Y., by Quebec filmmaker Jean-Marc Vallee (it wasn't nominated; we'll find out in January if Water gets a nod). I've gotten away from reviewing films, so it's funny that the two I'd done over the past year were Water and C.R.A.Z.Y. Crazy.
I'm covering the Vancouver International Film Festival soon, so there'll be more to come ... and I'm looking forward to it. I still kind of miss Movie Girl.
