Kathryn Bigelow’s Zero Dark Thirty is a film that has garnered more attention than possibly any other film this year, whether it be for better or worse. From those criticizing the depiction of torture, or how accurate it is, or the Senate’s investigation into the film, it seems that everyone is weighing in on this one. Setting all the buzz and talk aside, is this a film worthy of being on so many top ten lists and the most certain awards nominations that it will likely receive? The short answer is yes, yes it is.

Michael Haneke’s most recent achievement is a wondrous film entitled Amour, i.e., “Love.” It is with love that I watched the film and with love that I write about it now. For Amour, the acclaimed Austrian director picked up his second Palme d’Or at the 2012 Cannes Film Festival and the Best Foreign Language film award from the New York Film Critics Circle this week. The film is Austria’s official selection to the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, and I believe it has a strong chance of receiving the Oscar as 2012’s Best Foreign Film.
