This envelope gaffe consigned two films to an unwarranted singular aftermath; one that separates them from their individual merits. It's unfortunate. However, this manner of assigning single infamies has underlined the Oscars from nomination day. A few weeks later, we were able to summarise most of the Best Picture nominees in one line, and often it will be patronising and cursory.

Bamako is necessary and consequential. It beautifully conveys the type of conversations we ought to have about Africa; pragmatic, unabated and free of hyperbole.

The point is, we don't know how we'd react until the calamity happens, whether it's as typical as a fight with your boss, or as profound as the world ending. Melancholia imagines scenarios of both extremes, and lets us in on what they may do to the witnesses and participants.

This film was part of the movement that led to the genre's acceptance in the mainstream, and rightfully so. Otomo made an audacious anime, the most expensive and technically taxing at the time.

Villeneuve has an almost divine dexterity at creating tension; letting it build over dozens of on-screen minutes. Nothing seems contrived, and the payoffs are surprising and satisfying.

This film takes place in a time when communities were smaller and simpler, and social ties were more tangible. The spaces between people were bigger, but there didn't yet exist the pervasive technology or persuasion to present oneself as distinctly different from who one was. This is its chief intrigue.
