Wallace and Gromit in "The Wrong Trousers"

Voting happiness over depression

". . . We pretend to take up hope again as the image recedes into the past,
As if we were cured once and for all of the scourge of the camps.
We pretend it all happened only once at a given time and place,
We turn a blind eye to what surrounds us
And a deaf ear to humanity's never-ending cry."

My vote goes to Night and Fog.

And we're done here! It's beat out some very stiff competition, prevailing by 5 votes to 2. I think we'd all agree that Alain Resnais' stunningly visceral, poetic, devastating look at the holocaust is a very worthy victor indeed.

It's an important film and it's good it won.

Yeh, a worthy winner, a truly magnificent and haunting piece of work.
