Given the rest of your comment, I might not read anything more surprising the rest of 2013.<br /><br />Also, a word of advice: Ten Best Films might not be for you if you feel that most foreign language films are "overpraise" by critics or "film snob." <br /><br />Michael J.

Most foreign language films are alway overpraise by critics or film snob , some of them doesn't even know what a great filmmaking is. Although some of those films are truly great but not this one.<br /><br />By the way , pretentious list.

I would be happy to see either film on anybody else's list, but I don't actually feel that it is obvious that either should be here - and in fact, the response to the Malick indicates that I admired it far more than most. <br /><br />I have not seen "Closed Curtain" (which by my criteria will qualify for 2013) or the Oliveira. As you know these lists are fluid and the latter could always make its way on.<br /><br />I am seeing "Before Midnight" this evening, so hopefully a review will be forthcoming!Michael J.

Maybe I would also find room for Closed Curtain or Gebo and the Shadow.<br /><br />Do you have a Before Midnight review coming up? I can't wait to see that film.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4215151356083666218.post-30053243162085276892013-06-25T06:57:39.157-07:002013-06-25T06:57:39.157-07:00Ah, I've been waiting patiently on the write-u...Ah, I've been waiting patiently on the write-up for last year's list, and here it is! Well done, as always, Michael. Yours is a site I return to over and over again. I'm glad that you've kept it up. That being said, ya can't go wrong with Carax's Holy Motors, clearly a film important in its time that will be influential in the years to come, and I have to say I was pleasantly surprised to see Haneke's Amour bumped off your list. I find that I like Haneke less and less, as the years go by. I'm extremely interested in Neighboring Sounds now, so thank you for giving that one a spot. My only real surprise is how high up Anderson's Moonrise Kingdom is; I very much enjoyed it - not so much loved it - so I'll have to give it another viewing. Oh, and that other Anderson that you left off (for The Master); once again, well done.LovePeacockhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10517111874747433572noreply@blogger.com
