Comments
Bicycle Thieves
1948 Italy
The child and father you will never forget. The pain on the fathers face.
Man of Aran
1934 United Kingdom
The re-enacted life of the islanders is compelling and however romantic Flaherty's approach is he created an unique genre ahead of his time: documentaire joué.
Elephant
2003 USA
Casting is Gus van Sant's gift. He is a modern day Bresson in choosing the right faces and essence for the role.
LAKPOSHTHA HÂM PARVAZ MIKONAND
2004 Iran, Iraq
Great children "actors".
MOI, UN NOIR
1959 France
The main characters acting their own life and commenting their everyday experiences creates the films witty and funny undertone.
Vagabond
1985 France, United Kingdom
This film is between fiction and documentary and it makes it very unique experience.
My Own Private Idaho
1991 USA
This film is why I will never forgive what happened to River.
Further remarks
I could have had these 10 films in any order.
