De battre mon cœur s'est arrêté, Audiard au sommet.
Amélie Poulain qui gagne, logique, le film le plus populaire de la décennie.
L'Esquive de Kechiche, avec Marivaux en banlieue, génial.
Les Invasions barbares, très émouvant.
Séraphine, Yolande Moreau incroyable.
La Graine et le Mulet, la scène de la danse finale est magistrale.
