Pretty good! 6 films certified fresh, and critical above 80% on everything except the horrible version of Quixote (which I felt should be included as it is a legal reconstruction, was premiered at a film festival, and has been released on a legal DVD). The audiences scores are also very good, with everything above 70% except Quixote, It’s All True and (Yikes!) The Other Side of the Wind, lower than everything else except Quixote. Perhaps that will come up with time. The real surprise for me is Shanghai, with high numbers and being certified fresh.
