Despite my plans, I didn't end up writing about any of the 2000 films I missed in April, and honestly 'R Xmas was the only first-time viewing that I've written about so far (shame). But with May comes 2002, and at least three of my all-time favorite films will show up, one from Spain, one from Scotland, the other from France. 2002 will also show the first film from my favorite American filmmaker to debut in the '00s. So, as I've been pretty bad about watching films from 2000-2001 that I hadn't seen prior (I promise Yi-yi and Werckmeister Harmonies are coming, though I seem to have nothing enlightening to say about In the Mood for Love... hmmm), I'm enlisting your help to give me the extra push toward, or away from, these 2002 films I have yet to catch. Your assistance is greatly appreciated.

Of course, any other suggestions for 2002 films (check the IMDb if you're not sure of the year, though I'm aware they are definitely not fail proof). I'd like to say the first 2002 film will roll out tonight, but we'll see where the day takes me.
