2012 MUBI World Cup Voting, Match #14: Hungary (The Corporal and Others) vs. Senegal (Touki Bouki)

Hungary (The Corporal and Others) 0 – Senegal (Touki Bouki) 1

Hungary (The Corporal and the Others) 1 – Senegal (Touki Bouki) 0

I believe Hungary is in the lead 7-6 with about 3 hours left. This is pretty shocking to me. There are a few films better than Touki Bouki this just isn’t one of them.

^I agree with you. I could have voted either way in this match. I think one of the problems with TB is that most people have seen it before and the Hungarian film in comparison feels like a breath of fresh air with its comedy. TB as you rightly say is an excellent film. I still expect it to win.

ah crap. lucky i came back early. thanks riss for posting my vote!

since he posted it in invisible ink, i’m not sure if it counts, so i’ll do it again.
