It seems like I saw eight films from last year, some in the cinema, some on dvd. In order of preference:
1. Moonrise Kingdom
2. Holy Motors
3. Looper
4. Dark Knight Rises
5. Django Unchained
6. Cabin in the Woods
7. Prometheus
8. The Avengers
Which means I haven't seen Argo, Amour or Lincoln, and so on. Holy Motors was a strange film. I think even David Lynch would say, Gee, that was a weird film. It's about madness, beauty, death and cinema. I guess. That we're all actors? Maybe. It has no rules. It's a film to experience if not to understand, so I should probably have seen it on a screen and not on my tv.
I have not seen Amour or Lincoln either, but I did enjoy Argo. In the credits for Argo, Michael Parks is credited as "Jack Kirby," but he only has one line in the movie, sadly.
ReplyDeleteI haven't seen them all but there are some great things on the list:
ReplyDeleteMoonrise Kingdom was really beautiful, what can I say; I am a fan.
Holy Motors was a great surprise, by far the weirdest movie I saw last year: Viva Monsieur Merde!
Dark Knight Rises was OK, I guess. But as with Bond-movies, you can only really compare it to the other movies in the series.
I look forward to Django, and the rest I can live without.
I can strongly recommend Amour. Along with Shame and We need to talk about Kevin the strongest movie of the last year, in my opinion.
It's a list of the films I saw from last year, not a list of favourite films. Only the two first ones I really liked. Looper I have mixed feelings about, DKR and Django I found disappointing and the three last ones I did not care for at all.
