Thanks! I honestly don’t think anyone here will like Elvis and Anabelle (I’m not sure even I would if I rewatched it). Roman de gare may fare only slightly better as it withholds so much information to play with the audience that it’s a coin flip at best whether that delights or infuriates you in practice. Lelouch actually does this a few times in his career and I fucking hated the other times he did it, so I get it if you watch this and get upset, but man this one is just really amusing to me and kinda worth him failing at fucking with us all those times to get it right here (and it’s not an “It’s all a dream” movie, to be clear, but spoiling this movie in advance would 100% render watching it useless)

Some adds please:

Lee Kang-sheng, Help Me Eros [Tsai Ming-liang did the production desire for this, and it's great]
Aoyama Shinji, Sad Vacation
Anno Hideaki, Evangelion: 1.11 You Are (Not) Alone
Ishii Yûya, Bakemono moyou [Of monster mode]
Miike Takashi, Tantei monogatari [Detective Story] [Better, for me, than the two other 2006 Miikes currently on the list, Crows and Sukiyaki]

Too bad one the great "experimental" films of the year, Jeanne Liotta's "Observando el cielo", is impossible to see. It demands viewing on a big screen in a completely dark theater, the only movie I've seen that made me feel I was on a spinning planet.
