This could be Lynch’s most enduring film – an emotionally-resonating and psychologically-rich work about discrimination and compassion based on the true story of a horribly disfigured man.
Outstanding feature debut by David Lynch, this is as nightmarish and surreal as they come.
Among the masterpieces of Kurosawa, this one sits confidently at the very, very top, and is quite rightly one of the greatest films ever made of all-time.
My favourite feature debut from the French New Waveโan extraordinary meditation on trauma, memory and love as Resnais merges the historical, geographical and the personal in an intelligent and sensuous way.
This 15th installmentโs focus on drama and storytelling is noteworthy, building to one of the seriesโ finest action-packed climaxes.
Kurosawa’s final collab with Mifune yields a near masterpiece about humanity that is beautiful, poetic and enlightening.
Kurosawa’s underrated gem of a masterwork is both an emotionally tense domestic drama, and a hot and sweaty police procedural.
Sexual politics and sociopolitics dovetail in Bunuel’s mesmerising final film, featuring two actresses taking turns to play the female lead.
A bold and stunning effort by Bunuel that explores with psychological depth both sexual repression and expression from the perspective of a sexy but frigid young woman.
May be at times challenging to watch but Bunuel took down the upper-classes in the kind of sharp comic absurdity that he was known for.ย
