Well that and colorizing WWI footage.

It’s an attempt to make her (and the other bystander) unrecognizable (I think)

Not very likely. Disney even scrapped its release in several European markets.

Jessica Chastain should do more comedies, so this isn’t bad news.

Inertia

It wasn’t eligible for the Best Foreign Language Film, because as you say nominees have to selected by national bodies. However, it was in fact eligible for all other categories (because it had played in theaters stateside): http://www.oscars.org/sites/oscars/files/89th_reminder_list.pdf

City Girl is so good. Especially its first half is one of the greatest onscreen depictions of romance ever.

The nice thing about camera placement, blocking, or framing is they’re unambiguously the responsibility of the director. Sound is its own department, and you again have to ask who is responsible for what aspect of it.

Isn’t everything they stream right after the U.S. broadcast labelled as an “Original”? At least, that’s what it seems like to me.

It probably also helps that Netflix has the international rights for the show, which I suppose lowers the production costs for NBC.
