No order. This is of course a sort of self-portrait rather than an actual ranking of «the Greatest Films of All Time». Some films in this list, if not all of them, share common topics that I've been obsessed with: faith, commitment and disillusionment. But surely they all belong to that mysterious area of filmmaking where the director, consciously or not, refuse to distinguish between «classicism» and radical self-expression.
