End Of The Month Review - October To November
Added Jan 6, 2010,
Top 10 Films Of The Month
10. The American
Anton Corbjin
Year:
2010
My review:
"Anton Corbjin has created something beautiful here. A unique drama that is atmospheric, well-observed, gorgeously photographed and features one of the best performances of the year."
09. Lust, Caution
Ang Lee
Year:
2007
My review:
"A riveting drama that could have been a masterpiece if it was cut shorter, Lust, Caution is an expertly told story that confirms the genius of Ang Lee."
08. Slumdog Millionaire
Danny Boyle
Year:
2008
My review:
"
A wonderful cinematic experience that, while it does have its flaws, is a heartwarming tale of overcoming stereotypes and triumphing over the suffering that you've been dealt to escape."
07. The Beat That My Heart Skipped
Jacques Audiard
Year:
2005
My Review:
"
A terrific crime drama from one of the genre's best modern directors, Jacques Audiard portrays a brutal yet tender insight into the world of a young criminal trying to decide his path in life."
06. Being John Malkovich
Spike Jonze
Year:
2003
My Review:
"
Being John Malkovich rightly put Spike Jonze and Charlie Kaufman on the art house and American indie map for bringing imagination and creativity back to the cinema screen in such a well-executed, intellectually stimulating and, above anything else, riotously fun way."
05. Hoop Dreams
Darren Aronofsky
Year:
2008
My Review:
"R
anking right up there with the greatest documentary films that have been produced in cinema, Hoop Dreams is a masterpiece. Well-observed, riveting, inspirational and achingly sad, if the film was ten hours long and spanned their entire lives there still wouldn't be a single second in which you attention would waver."
04. Secrets And Lies
Mike Leigh
Year:
1996
My Review:
"
A character-driven drama that is an intelligent study of the effects of secrets and lies, Mike Leigh’s Palme D’or winning movie is among the best of his career and he proves he is a master of screenwriting. Close to perfection."
03. Hidden
Michael Haneke
Year:
2005
My Review:
"Has
an impending sense of doom that will leave your heart in your throat and an icy, disquieting atmosphere that will leave you frozen to your seat."
02. Lost In Translation
Sofia Coppola
Year:
2003
My Review:
"
As touching a story you are likely to find in a modern American indie movie, but one that is equally intelligent, creative, deep in meaning and extraordinarily well-made from a woman who is destined to become one of this generation's most promising auteurs."
01. There Will Be Blood
Paul Thomas Anderson
Year:
2007
My Review:
"
There Will Be Blood could possibly be greatest film of the last ten years, a two and a half hour epic that, despite being set during the turn of the 20th century, says more about the 21st century than any other movie has done thus far."
