Top 100 Most Anticipated Films of 2011: Pawel Pawlikowski’s The Woman in the Fifth
We were faced with a drought from this filmmaker so our anticipation levels are at a higher level than norm as he only has a pair of completed films to show for in the past decade: the gritty sophomore film Last Resort and his moody and lush 2004 film, My Summer of Love - which also happens to be a book adaptation such as this project.

In a year where it's Hardwicke's fairy tale adaptation of Red Riding Hood that might be receiving the most attention, I'd place my money on Julia Leigh's vision of Sleeping Beauty being the edgier, and the more noteworthy fair. The Filmmaker Magazine Top 25 New Face director from Australia worked from a 2008 Black List favorite - which I haven't read but I've heard is quite good on paper.
