Have you seen Silent Light yet? If so, what did you think?

Where, and how, did you see The Man Who Invented Gold? Fantastic list, btw! This has to be one of my all-time favorites. Right up there with Rosenbaum's 1,000 favorite films list. Of course, his is a tad more expansive than yours. I'm especially interested in your use of obscure films to represent the more canonical directors on your list, save a few exceptions. Is this intentional, or are those really your favorites by them? Also, I see you have a Pedro Costa film in your top 10. He, too, is one of my favorites. Sadly, I've only been able to see In Vanda's Room w/o English subs, but I've managed to watch all of his other films with subs, save The Blood. I take it you saw them in the cinema, which is probably how you also saw The Man Who Invented Gold, correct? I'm forced to track down obscure films through KG, which is great, but the quality, and experience, is not the same as the cinema, though, that is true of all films, not just obscure ones.
