International Cinephile Society Nominees

The gayer, alien-body-snatching, delinquent-teenage-son, vampiric, in 3-D alternative to the Academy Awards.  The chilling, Hitchcockian penis-filled French film Stranger by the Lake led the field with 9 nomination, while Xavier Dolan's Mommy (which I loved) followed with 8 nominations.

To enhance the mood while reading this list.
