Shrek (2001)

  • Popular
  • 2001, USA
  • 1 Comment

Two decades on, this Oscar-winning, Cannes Palme dโ€™Or-nominated (!) animated delight remains as energetic, refreshing and meaningful as ever.

Ali (2001)

  • Mann, Michael
  • 2001, Michael Mann, USA
  • 2 Comments

Generally solid if slightly overlong Muhammad Ali biopic with an underrated performance from Will Smithโ€”it doesnโ€™t push the envelope for the boxing genre, but Mann delivers the fundamentals right.

A.I. Artificial Intelligence (2001)

  • Spielberg, Steven
  • 2001, Steven Spielberg, USA
  • 3 Comments

Spielberg’s warm touch of sentimentality is obvious if reassuring in this sci-fi project that Kubrick was working on before his untimely passing.

Royal Tenenbaums, The (2001)

  • Anderson, Wes, Criterion Collection
  • 2001, USA, Wes Anderson
  • 2 Comments

Possibly the finest and most fully-realised of his early works, Wes Anderson tells a quirky story about a family full of eccentric, estranged members looking for some measure of redemption and reconciliation.

Piano Teacher, The (2001)

  • Criterion Collection, Haneke, Michael
  • 2001, France, Michael Haneke
  • 6 Comments

Hanekeโ€™s shocking work daringly dissects the nature of love, sexual desire, sadomasochism and power with a fierce intelligence that is matched only by arguably Isabelle Huppertโ€™s finest ever performance.

Mulholland Dr. (2001)

  • Criterion Collection, Lynch, David
  • 2001, David Lynch, USA
  • 10 Comments

Arguably David Lynch’s magnum opus, this is the cinematic equivalent of the ultimate Rubikโ€™s cube – mysterious, unsolvable, haunting and a psycho-emotionally shattering experience.

Monsters, Inc. (2001)

  • Docter, Pete, Popular
  • 2001, Pete Docter, Pixar, USA
  • 7 Comments

One of Pixarโ€™s best efforts, and still one of their most conceptually imaginative pictures to date.

  • Dutta, Amit
  • 2001, Amit Dutta, India
  • 1 Comment

An ethnographic documentary on the Warli tribe in India, who are isolated from the modern world, as Amit Dutta captures their daily lives, rituals and myths with a keen observational eye.

Passing Summer (2001)

  • Schanelec, Angela
  • 2001, Angela Schanelec, Germany
  • 2 Comments

Schanelec skilfully captures the ebb and flow of conversations between family, friends and lovers in this slow-moving drama about a womanโ€™s discontentment.

Y Tu Mama Tambien (2001)

  • Criterion Collection, Cuaron, Alfonso
  • 2001, Alfonso Cuaron, Mexico
  • 5 Comments

A road trip across Mexico, oozing with eroticism and the joys and agonies of living, in what is Cuaronโ€™s most liberating picture to date.
