Middleman was close to a 12-0 win if not for the one Yaaba vote!
a moderate voting turnout but perhaps now that India is in the final,more people will be watching Ghatak and Ray.
Blue,you should have used a Sembene film.
The master says it’s not over yet!
Full congratulations to Apursansar for advancing team India against the surprise team of the tournament – team Africa. That was quite a feat, as Blue K has given us so many excellent choices from a continent few of us knew before the event. Obviously, the great and reliable Ray carried the day.
Blue K, you have succeeded beyond the wildest of expectations and gotten this far by knocking out every single team you have faced getting here, including team China and team Iran. Thanks for all the discoveries along the way. I look forward to see what China and India have in store for the finals. Thanks to both managers for an excellent selection of films.
The world’s most populated countries in the final! Their cultures may well become much more familiar over the next century
Anyway, lets celebrate Satyajit Ray as the goalgetter!
Congrats, Apursansar!
@ Dimitris, I’ll tell you what I was thinking in the WC Comments thread.
An all-Asian final!
Looking forward to it…thanks to Apursansar and Blue K for the hours of downloading !
I wish I didn’t have to go to Japan so quickly; I just had my computer fixed. So now I can actually see the films.
