That ‘truthful Oscar posters’ link should be for http://www.theshiznit.co.uk, not the link you’re listing. Please try to give credit to the people who actually did the work in future.

Lee, I think chances are good for a distribution deal. Another press screening was just added. Stay tuned….

Well, I’m definitely interested in checking out ‘Compliance’ now despite any mixed reviews.
There was a great episode of Law & Order: SVU with Robin Williams that used the same true events as its foundation a couple of years ago.

Hey Matt — Your take on the film is valid. I wouldn’t rule out another Compliance screening down the road – you know how opinions can change. An example from last year: Take Shelter didn’t impress me in the least, then it lingered after the festival, and I saw it again during its theatrical release and had a different take on it. Put simply, Compliance is a success to me because it generates discussion. Thanks for your thoughts on it.

I disagree with you about Compliance. I thought the movie was well-made and that it was capably directed. I think the subject matter of the film is difficult and required care on Zobel’s part to avoid slipping into the territory of exploitation. I think he achieved that goal. The nudity was necessary to the script, but in my view was handled in a way to make the audience feel disgust and not titillation. The most shocking parts of the story (which, apparently, were based on the real incident) were handled with discretion. Mr. Zobel had to walk a fine line here, and I think he did so admirably.

One point on which we do agree is that the film’s epilogue / coda was unnecessary, at least insofar as the filmmaker judged the manager / Sandra character. If the point of the movie is to try to understand the odd aspect of human behavior that compels us to respect authority, even in situations in which our common sense should tell us not to, then implicitly criticizing the manager seems counter to that goal.

I’m interested to see The Words. Hope it gets released in theaters real soon.
