Yearly Roundup – 2006

The Cream of the Crop

Hey, it’s been a while since I’ve done one of these.  Due to its appearance on my top 100, it should be no surprise that my favorite of the year is Syndromes and a Century.  Pretty much everything by Weerasethakul is worth watching, but this one weaves a special spell over me.  Structurally playful, alternately mellowing and disturbing, always beautiful.  Sublime filmmaking from one of cinema’s most distinctive voices.

Slightly Less Creamy, But Still Tasty

It’s a year of excellent surreal nightmares, including three from my top 100.  Inland Empire is Lynch at his Lynch-iest, a slippery narrative loaded with moods.  Then there’s the deadpan dystopia of Jens Lien’s mysterious The Bothersome Man.  And a rather controversial (i.e., questionable) selections for a “top” list: Silent Hill.  I would be hard-pressed to defend this as a brilliant story, but its achievements in production design and commitment to its nightmarish tone does something for me.  And that’s not all from my top 250, there’s also Tsai’s I Don’t Want to Sleep Alone, probably his warmest film.  Gorgeous ending.

I recently watched Infernal Affairs and although I did enjoy it, I still prefer Scorsese’s The Departed, a highly entertaining and gripping remake.  Lastly, a pair of fine documentaries.  Inheritance studies the demons haunting Amon Goeth’s daughter, and An Inconvenient Truth studies the demons haunting our planet.

Yearly Roundup – 1959

The Cream of the Crop

I apologize for the missing links in this post.  Our office has implemented all this new security stuff which has the weird side effect of preventing me from adding hyperlinks to posts I make from work.  I tried it in IE, Firefox and Chrome.  Weird.  I may edit in some links when I get home later… or I may not.  It’s kind of a pain in the ass, to be honest, and I don’t know if anyone even uses them.  You can always use the index to find the reviews.

So, 1959.  Mighty good year.  While there’s nothing currently in my top 100, there are two that were in the previous edition, and two more that come damn close.  The 400 Blows is deservedly canonized, a cornerstone of the nouvelle vague, and just a damn good slice of entertainment with one of the best child performances of all time.  Odds Against Tomorrow is gripping noir, part heist film and part racial commentary with brilliant tension between Belafonte and Ryan.  The World of Apu caps off Satyajit Ray’s trilogy in fine form, as Apu (played this time by the wonderful Soumitra Chatterjee) gets put through the wringer once more but emerges with a ray of hope.  Few rays of hope to be found, however, in Ichikawa’s relentlessly bleak — but also darkly comic — Fires on the Plain, a harrowing anti-war film.

Slightly Less Creamy, But Still Tasty

Oh, did I say “relentlessly bleak”?  Feast your eyes on Human Condition I, kicking off what is probably the most depressing trilogy ever.  I want to revisit the films, but can’t bring myself to do it.  The Letter Never Sent is a masterpiece of cinematography, and has a solid, engaging story as well.  Pickpocket is yet another winner from Robert Bresson: quiet, stripped-down drama.  Rio Bravo is one of the best times you can have with a western… an extremely rare case where I actually enjoy John Wayne.  And Imitation of Life is one of Sirk’s best works, melodrama with a subversive, progressive undercurrent.  Juanita Moore knocks it out of the park.

Yearly Roundup – 1929-1930

The Cream of the Crop

Before I get to the cream, I should mention that Jean Painlevé has a number of shorts from this period, ranging from hate to like with no extremes in either direction.  I don’t want to list them all, though.

Nothing from my current top 100, but one from a previous edition: The Man With a Movie Camera.  I don’t have the personal connection to it to include it among my favorites, but it is absolutely dazzling and in my opinion, the best of the “city symphony” films.  Also, I don’t include shorts in my top list, but if I did, Un Chien Andalou would have a good chance of making it.  Strange and funny and unforgettable.

 

Slightly Less Creamy, But Still Tasty

Regen and H2O are two shorts that both explore the beauty of water… lovely and abstract.  Somewhat sluggish in parts, but Asquith’s A Cottage on Dartmoor is a creepy and very stylish thriller.  One I’d like to watch again (but can’t bring myself to purchase it) is All Quiet on the Western Front, one of the great war films with impressive camerawork.

Yearly Roundup – 2009

The Cream of the Crop

Let me preface this by reminding everyone that I use Criticker to determine years.  The most recent years tend to be more debatable in terms of release dates, so if you don’t see a particular 2009 film here, check what Criticker has it listed as.  I’m also adding a new section to the Yearly Roundup: “Also Love”.  Because the “Varying Degrees of Like” section was often getting too big and feeling too broad, this new category falls between that and the “Slightly Less Creamy” category.  Yay for obsessive, arbitrary ranking systems.  I don’t know yet if I’ll go back and update the previous Yearly Roundups with this new category.

Anyway, on to my favorites of 2009.  This post is a somber reminder to me that Ming-liang Tsai hasn’t released a feature film since Visage, an entry from my top 100 of all time.  Certainly not a good entry point for Tsai, but a delight for fans, as incomprehensible as it may be.  Also from my top 100, one of the few comedies on that list: In the Loop.  Hilarious political satire, an ideal companion to “The Thick of It”, the brilliant show it was spun off from.

 

Slightly Less Creamy, But Still Tasty

Despite being a Wes Anderson fan, I didn’t expect much from Fantastic Mr. Fox.  Shame on me, it’s absolutely charming and a refreshing antidote to the usual slick CGI animation.  It took two viewings for A Serious Man to click with me, but now I’m looking forward to third.  Really funny stuff from the Coens.  Straddling the line between neo-noir and black comedy, Bong Joon-ho’s Mother is a very compelling film.  Also from the East, the excellent documentary Last Train Home finds a lot of drama in a simple story.

Yearly Roundup – 1972

The Cream of the Crop

Werner Herzog is one of my favorite directors, and Aguirre: The Wrath of God is my favorite film by him.  With assistance from Klaus Kinski’s unforgettable performance and Florian Fricke’s eerie score, it’s a strange, hypnotic journey into insanity.  Satyajit Ray is best known for his “Apu trilogy”, but I say his “Calcutta trilogy” is equally compelling.  Pratidwandi might be the best of the three, a very unconventional film for Ray but a very rich and effective one.

 

Slightly Less Creamy, But Still Tasty

I have almost nothing to say about The Godfather, except that it’s pretty much as great as its reputation indicates.  Relentlessly compelling stuff.  My first Buñuel was The Discreet Charm of the Bourgeoisie.  The initial viewing left me cold, but after I’d seen more of his work and fallen in love with his brand of humor, it all clicked with me.  On the other hand, Pakeezah is a film I didn’t like quite as much the second time around, but it’s still a beautiful film with fine drama and music.  I like Altman when he gets weird more than the acknowledged “classics”, and Images is a fine example of that.  1972 also brings what is easily my favorite by Kenneth Anger, the delirious Lucifer Rising.

Yearly Roundup – 1968

The Cream of the Crop

Two from my top 100 this year.  Some day in the near future I hope to post a proper review of 2001: A Space Odyssey but it’s tough to write about a film that’s been so thoroughly analyzed.  It’s a masterfully crafted film that holds up perfectly today, iconic and always thought-provoking.  Shame is a relatively overlooked entry in Bergman’s filmography, but I find it one of his best, a stunning and multi-layered look at conflict and combat.

Slightly Less Creamy, But Still Tasty

Bondarchuk’s epic War and Peace just missed the top 100 list, primilarily because I’m waiting for a proper DVD/Blu-Ray release before I rewatch it.  And I had to cut The Bride Wore Black from the 100 — and in fact even the top 250 — after a second viewing, but I still think it’s a wonderful movie.  And it’s a double-dose of prime Truffaut with Stolen Kisses, another fine entry in the Antoine Doinel series.  Faces is Cassavetes in peak form, with stellar performances as usual.  Herzog makes a good impression with his first feature, Signs of Life.  Although I haven’t yet seen Diary of a Shinjuku Thief from the same year, Three Resurrected Drunkards is one of my favorites by Oshima, very playful.

Yearly Roundup – 1940

The Cream of the Crop

I can’t rightfully put anything here, as I have nothing rated higher than 85 on Criticker.  I’m not saying 1940 is a dud year, I just haven’t seen anything that qualifies as a favorite.  There are several films from this year that are considered among the greats, I’m just not that crazy about them.  I suspect if I rewatched His Girl Friday I would like it a lot more than I did the first time around.

 

Slightly Less Creamy, But Still Tasty

Two very fine noirs… or maybe pre-noirs since some consider 1941 to really be the starting point of the so-called “noir cycle”.  But Stranger on the Third Floor is sometimes referred to the first true noir, and it has the chops to back it up.  Very odd little movie, and one with some striking elements.  They Drive By Night is not quite as “noir” but it is compelling, and features brilliant casting in Bogart, Raft and Lupino.  Also, The Shop Around the Corner is a delightful romcom.

Yearly Roundup – 1995

The Cream of the Crop

Two from my top 100 this year.  One of Emir Kusturica’s finest movies, the epic farce/satire/tragedy Underground is a film I need to write a decent review of at some point.  And Todd Haynes’s Safe is wonderfully enigmatic, with a fantastic, fragile performance by Julianne Moore.

 

Slightly Less Creamy, But Still Tasty

Here’s one I never expected to like: Babe, utterly charming and expertly realized.  Mohsen Makhmalbaf delivers in the eloquently meta Salaam Cinema.  And there are two terrific shorts worth mentioning.  Wallace and Gromit continue their delightful misadventures in A Close Shave, and Odilon Redon shows once again that Maddin may work better in the short format than the feature.

Yearly Roundup – 1935

The Cream of the Crop

Maybe the first truly “great” Hitchcock film — although I admit I’m mostly unfamiliar with the films preceding it — The 39 Steps is a crackerjack spy thriller.  Suspense, romance, comedy, drama, mystery, adventure… it’s all in there, and pulled off beautifully.  Terrific cast, terrific plot, terrific movie.

 

Slightly Less Creamy, But Still Tasty

I’m pretty weak on this year, but I will throw out a mention for Carnival in Flanders.  Despite being on the TSPDT top 1000 list, it’s a rather “under the radar” movie that deserves more attention.  Really funny — few films do “baudy” so well — and elegantly crafted, I keep hoping we’ll get a DVD/Blu-Ray release sometime.

Yearly Roundup – 1921 to 1924

The Cream of the Crop

 

As I’ve said before, few of my favorites come from the silent era of cinema.  Not one I’m totally in love with, but The Phantom Carriage is a remarkable film in many ways.  Impressive effects and a haunting story that’s told with sophistication.  Excellent performance by director Sjostrom, and a film that influenced Ingmar Bergman.

 

Slightly Less Creamy, But Still Tasty

Sjostrom wasn’t the only Swede producing fine motion pictures at this time.  Stiller’s The Saga of Gosta Berling is a marvelously crafted drama, with a surprising amount of depth for the period.  The first half of Fritz Lang’s “Die Nubelungen” saga, Siegfried is the better of the two, and one of his best early films.  In this era we get two classics of comedy: Harold Lloyd’s Safety Last! and Buster Keaton’s Sherlock, Jr. — both firmly established in the canon, and rightfully so.  And the horror classic Nosferatu is well worth a look, especially fun to compare & contrast with Herzog’s remake.  And lastly, Clair’s lovely surrealist short Entr’acte.
