Nobody, apart from a few wretched members of the media, sees more movies at SIFF than the full series pass-holders: a.k.a. the “fool serious” crowd. (It’s a pun–get it?) And their post-festival judgment is often more interesting than the festival’s juried and popular awards. Less swayed by local favorites (e.g., Humpday, Sweet Crude), these filmgoers generally achieve more diverse lists out of the sheer depth they penetrate into the SIFF schedule–seeing three, four, even five movies a day–for all of three weeks.Hence from the Fool Serious site, the “most liked” feature was Departures, the surprise Oscar winner from Japan, about a former musician finding his way in the funeral home business. (It’s currently playing at the Seven Gables.) This stands in opposition to ordinary SIFFgoers preferring Black Dynamite, winner of the Golden Space Needle award, which is a fairly easy, broad American comedy without subtitles.More Fool Serious picks after the jump…The full Fool Serious list continues… 2.
