Though I doubt I'll be able to afford the trip up north this year, here's the ones I'm immediately excited about (for reasons either Oscar-watching or Other): Darren Aronofsky’s Black Swan (pictured left), Robert Redford’s The Conspirator, Im Sang-Soo’s The Housemaid, Tom Hooper’s The King’s Speech, Francois Ozon’s Potiche, Rowan Joffe’s Brighton Rock, Susanne Bier’s In A Better World and John Cameron Mitchell’s Rabbit Hole.
