The 2016 Cinema Touch Awards - ORIGINAL SCREENPLAY

by

Julien Faddoul

5. Hail, Caesar! – Joel Coen, Ethan Coen

For an emblematic and hilarious comedy from its directors, once again accentuating the despairing chaos and meaninglessness of life.

4. The Lobster – Yorgos Lanthimos, Efthymis Filippou

For a dystopian satire that both amuses and illuminates.

3. The Club – Guillermo Calderón, Pablo Larraín, Daniel Villalobos

For a taut, rather angry chamber drama on the existential dilemma of insight vs. illusion.

2. Hell or High Water – Taylor Sheridan

For a fairly ingeniously plotted caper. Though some may find it's motif to be a little obvious, a film can't be high-minded unless it is minded.

1. 20^th Century Women – Mike Mills

For an incandescent piece of feminist fiction, made from his own experiences.

Runner Up: Everybody Wants Some – Richard Linklater
