Comments

Metropolis

1927 Germany

Prophetic, precocius, futurist, clever, with plenty presages and predictions about urbanism, social problems etc. A masterpiece.

1963 Italy, France

Glazzy, imaginative and plenty of risks. Pure Fellini!

The Godfather

1972 USA

Insuperable black. The top of black cinema.

The Thin Red Line

1998 USA

The best, most realistic, deep and serious war film, alongside Kubrick's Paths of Glory.

In the Mood for Love

2000 Hong Kong, France

A jewel of sensibility, full of delicacy and beauty.
