Comments

Distant Voices, Still Lives

1988 United Kingdom, Federal Republic of Germany

İn search of lost time in every sense.

La ciénaga

2001 Argentina, USA, Japan, France, Switzerland, Spain, Brazil

Waiting in limbo, mesmerizingly captured and highly political.

Vivre sa vie

1962 France

"The essence of life and the story is mostly out of the frame" kind of experience.

The Battle of Algiers

1966 Italy, Algeria

Heartbreakingly real, powerfully relevant masterpiece about the never-ending struggle against oppression.
