Int’l Critics Line: Todd McCarthy On Brazil’s Oscar Entry ‘Babenco: Tell Me When I Die’

Artists of all stripes have openly grappled with the spectres of their own mortality, but few film directors have confronted their own looming deaths as bluntly, or with as much vitality, as did Hector Babenco by participating in this climactic work, the part-sober documentary/part-boisterous extravaganza Babenco: Tell Me When I Die. Eschewing sentimentality and regret altogether, the Argentinian-Brazilian director of such powerful dramas as Pixote and Kiss Of the Spider Woman enthusiastically embraced the idea of confronting his own appointment with oblivion in this rambunctious and stylish obituary, which was directed by his wife, Barbara Paz.

Foreign-Language is the Favorite Category for Most of the World

Tim Gray Senior Vice PresidentOrganizations that give awards think every category is important. The American public, on the other hand, seems to only care about best picture, actor and actress (and supporting, if Brad Pitt or Scarlett Johansson is a nominee).However, to millions of people around the world, the most important category is the one devoted to movies that are not in the English language — what the Oscars call international feature film and what the Globes call foreign language.For them, it’s not just about validation for one movie.
