Comments
All these films have shaped my notions and tastes in cinema over the years.
This is today, August 4th 2022. Tomorrow I would possibly select others.
Anyway, is fair to say that these 10 films belong to a sort of canon for me, to which I could add films from other directors, like:
Jeanne Dielman (1975) – Chantal Akerman
Close-Up (1990) – Abbas Kiarostami
L’Atalante (1934) – Jean Vigo
Beau travail (1999) – Claire Denis

The Big Lebowski (1999) – Coen Bros
Meshes of the Afternoon (1943) – Maya Deren & Alexander Hammid
