The 2014 Cinema Touch Awards - ORIGINAL SCREENPLAY

by

Julien Faddoul

5. Love is Strange – Ira Sachs, Mauricio Zacharias

For working, for me, as an antidote to so many homosexual characters in cinema that wallow in self-pity in order to stroke ignorant audiences. Love is Strange simply presumes.

4. The Grand Budapest Hotel – Wes Anderson

For an obituary in serial form with the last installment missing; snowballing for 100 minutes to a sad and beautiful apogee.

3. Starred Up – Jonathan Asser

For impeccably weaving the grand illusion of virtue in an environment that deconstructs men to their core depravity.

2. Listen Up Philip – Alex Ross Perry

For burrowing into the subconscious like transient memories.

1. The Immigrant – James Gray, Richard Menello

For a staggeringly bleak story of humanity's aborted commitments and the fruitless ambition to make things right.

Runner Up: Two Days, One Night – Jean-Pierre Dardenne, Luc Dardenne
