Thanks for the info, Ambree. I'm very pleased for Elijah even if I am nervous about actually watching this film!!

With a DVD, quietly, at home, you could take it in installments. That's my plan.

I'm happy for Elijah, but that's a movie I'll have to pass on. :( I am looking forward to 'Grand Piano', though. :)

Yes, Grand Piano would be more to my taste than Maniac, too.
I'm glad Maniac gets some recognition. It was a huge gamble for Elijah, I guess, but he has now shown what he can do in roles like this.

All the best to Elijah for the awards but I don't think I will ever see this film although I will buy the dvd !
thanks for finding this:)
