Girl on the Bridge (Honeykid) vs Double Life of Veronique (Honeykid)

I'm pleased with how the match ups worked out, Tarkovsky vs Tarkovsky, HK nominee vs HK nominee, Underground vs equally popular Sansho, and Bergman vs Eastern Asia cinema

The Blue Kite is a Chinese film, not Hong Kong.

I've only seen both Stalker and Andrey Rublev. Stalker wins.

According to wiki, it was filmed in Hong Kong and China, but I edited the original post

I can only vote in my bracket and I don't know which to choose.

Same. Although it's not my bracket. Both good films.

Watched Girl on The Bridge, surprisingly fascinating

Girl on the Bridge (Honeykid) vs Double Life of Veronique (Honeykid)

Well this is an easy choice for me, I watched both recently for the tournament, and GOTB was a very enjoyable and unique experience. Double Life could be one of the least connected to me film I've come across. Stopped it 40 minutes in, I couldn't anything appealing.

If you stopped after 40 minutes are you allowed to vote against it?

I don't see why not. Didn't you say you fell asleep during 2001:A Space odessey? Have you ever voted against it?

I mean I couldn't get into this at all, and I was trying

Funny. That movie really moves me, and I've seen it like 8 times.

I try to rewatch every "classic/largely popular" film I dont get, and often I like it when I give it another viewing. But this it was truly the least connected I felt to the screen while watching a movie, ever

Have you seen any other Kieślowski film?

It took 5 attempts before I watched 2001 from start to finish and once, as you said, I did fall asleep. However, I have seen it from start to finish, which is why I vote against it.

I was just wondering whether that was the rule, as it is with the MoFo Tournament. If it was, then you couldn't vote against it. They're both my films and I'm still not sure which to vote for, so I don't have an agenda either way.
