The 2017 Cinema Touch Awards - ORIGINAL SCREENPLAY

by

Julien Faddoul

5. Phantom Thread – Paul Thomas Anderson

For an unsettling, accentuated, circuitously recounted depiction of both the benevolence and the non-conformity of intimate relationships.

4. BPM – Robin Campillo, Philippe Mangeot

For a beautiful example of substantiality and structure.

3. The Big Sick – Emily V. Gordon, Kumail Nanjiani

For a typically flabby 21st century romantic comedy that miraculously pulls it all off with an acute attention to social/societal details. It remains utterly convincing right up until the very end.

2. Lady Bird – Greta Gerwig

For a series of smart, witty, beautifully assembled episodes. It plays like a conciliation of youthful flightiness and the journey to understanding the problems of others.

1. A Quiet Passion – Terence Davies

For not only is his thoroughness unsurpassed, but so is, as this effort shows, his wit.

Runner Up: Person to Person – Dustin Guy Defa

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
