A successful Oscar Run can only be achieved if you see every nominated feature length movie. Thus, I’m in a pickle, because the following films are hiding from me. Can you help?

I need to find a way to see:

  • The Baader Meinhof Complex (from Germany)
  • Betrayal (Nerakhoon)
  • The Class (from France)
  • Departures (from Japan)
  • The Garden
  • Trouble the Water

I’m sure it won’t shock you to hear these are all documentaries or foreign films. Nevertheless, I want them, and will drive anywhere from San Diego to L.A. to see them. Little help?

Many thanks to my friend Jonathan Rimorin, who got me copies of Revanche (from Austria) and Australia (not strictly a foreign film, but a if-you-were-sick-that-week-you-missed-it film).
