CINEMA & POPCORN AWARDS: 2019 - WINNERS AND NOMINEES

The 2nd edition of Cinema & Popcorn Awards is here and I'll be recognizing (well, virtually) those I consider the best works in movies this year. It was a great year for foreign productions: Shoplifters, Roma, Cold War, Burning or The Cakemaker... all made part of my lists in one way or another. But it is what movies are about: breaking walls!
