Comments
The Clock
2010
Is this properly a film? I saw it on a huge screen and its passion for cinema knocked me out. That's enough for me.
Further remarks
I've tried to find films that have both meant a lot to film history and to me personally, that have nourished the art form and the soul. I thought I'd have more changes from the list I submitted ten years ago than I do, but it turns out that what endures endures.
