The
Year My Voice Broke (directed by John Duigan,
1988). Coming of age story set in rural Australia,
circa 1962. Infused with bittersweet nostalgia.
It kills me everytime. The sequel, Flirting,
is equally brilliant.
Grand
Illusion (directed by Jean Renoir, 1937). Beautiful
performances in this classic anti-war film.
Ghost World
(directed by Terry Zwigoff, 2001). Went to see
this because of a favourable five line review but
its utter greatness still caught me off guard.
Manhattan
(directed by Woody Allen, 1979). His best. Charming,
beautifully filmed and ultimately poignant
Withnail
and I (directed by Bruce Robinson, 1987). Two
unemployed British actors suffer through a country
vacation. Hilarious and bleak in equal preportions.
The Awful Truth (directed by Leo McCarey, 1937).
My all-time favourite screwball comedy. Cary Grant
and Irene Dunne are magic together. Check them
out in My Favourite Wife and Penny Serenade
too.
Almost
Famous
(directed by Cameron Crowe, 2000).
I grinned all the way through this at the
theatre. Great Cameron Crowe commentary on the DVD.
Children
of Men (directed by Alfonso Cuarón, 2006).
Set in the near future (2027) during a time
of global infertility which has rendered the world
hopeless, Children of Men documents decline,
chaos, despair - and hope. One of the most potent
films I've ever seen.
Jesus of Montreal (directed by Denys
Arcand, 1990). A film Holden Caulfield would love.
Wonder
Boys (directed by Curtis Hanson,
2000). English professor (Michael
Douglas) has been struggling to finish his second
novel for years and his personal life is equally
muddled in this fantastic film about campus life.
