The 2017 Cinema Touch Awards - ADAPTED SCREENPLAY

by

Julien Faddoul

5. Molly's Game – Aaron Sorkin

For not getting in his own way, allowing his usual percussive dialogue to revel in the spicy commentary.

4. Wonderstruck – Brian Selznick

For one idiosyncratic experience, a children's film for those who can handle it.

3. Blade Runner 2049 – Hampton Fancher, Michael Green

For completely improving on the first film conceptually, delving far deeper in philosophy than one would expect, with questions of existence, religion and the myth of true human intuition.

2. The Lost City of Z – James Gray

For his usual discipline, despite a more disjointed narrative.

1. Call Me by Your Name – James Ivory

For substituting angst with tranquil yet spirited languorousness.

Runner Up: Mudbound – Virgil Williams, Dee Rees
