Yeah probably same position, I am only ever in a position to vote on a year when at least an additional year has passed. Here is my top 10 of 2023 just for the record, most of which I watched after the poll ended. 1. Die Theorie von Allem / The Universal Theory (2023 - Timm Kröger) 2. Last Things (2...

In the long run, it was the train station what won it, if the banner choice is anything to go by (it's Loznitsa's The Halt right?)

Super high quality year Is-slottet / Ice Palace (Per Blom) Alaya (Nathaniel Dorsky) Конец Вечности / Konets vechnosti / The End of Eternity (Andrei Yermash) Скорбное бесчувствие / Skorbnoye beschuvstviye / Mournful Unconcern / Anaesthesia Psychica Dolorosa / Heartbreak House (Aleksandr Sokurov) Gand...

O Horizon (2018 - The Otolith Group) Le livre d'image / The Image Book (2018 - Jean-Luc Godard) Isle of Dogs (2018 - Wes Anderson) Un couteau dans le coeur / Knife + Heart (2018 - Yann Gonzalez) 郊区的鸟 / Jiao qu de niao / Suburban Birds (2018 - Sheng Qiu) The House That Jack Built (2018 - Lars von Tri...

Best score of the year goes to Violent City, Morricone certainly breathed life into that movie. A great year by my reckoning. Deep End (Jerzy Skolimowski) Peau d'âne / Once Upon a Time (Jacques Demy) L'Uccello dalle piume di cristallo / The Bird With Crystal Plumage (Dario Argento) Vamos a matar, co...

Very delayed response! 1. La maman et la putain / The Mother and the Whore (1973 - Jean Eustache) 2. 有りがたうさん / Arigatô-san / Mr. Thank You (1936 - Hiroshi Shimizu) 3. Rok spokojnego słońca / A Year of the Quiet Sun (1984 - Krzysztof Zanussi) 4. 耳をすませば / Mimi wo Sumaseba / Whisper of the Heart (1995 ...

Parallelstrasse and Celine and Julie are both in my 100-200 and had to resist the urge to not tactically vote them hehe. So nice to reminisce on Marienbad this morning, I remember sitting in the cinema as a student back in 1999, watching Marienbad thinking, "I'm hooked, this is something I'll b...

I imagine very few have seen Семнадцать мгновений весны / Semnadtsat mgnoveniy vesny / Seventeen Moments of Spring (1973 - Tatyana Lioznova) i haven't seen that either... on your ballot. i don't think you voted for it. :) happy to add a vote for transit if you let me know what to take out! Aha, I t...

OK I'll play along with this fun little sprinkling of strategy at the end. I imagine very few have seen Семнадцать мгновений весны / Semnadtsat mgnoveniy vesny / Seventeen Moments of Spring (1973 - Tatyana Lioznova), so I'll take that out and put in: Transit (2018 - Christian Petzold) I watched this...

Transit becomes an immediate priority watch. Very happy to see Malmkrog get recognized as top film of 2020s, a brain and soul expanding film.

I have left myself in your's and Gregg Araki's hands for 1hr 25m with Smiley Face. you may need to agree with me and former scfz'er adam (was that his name? the philosophy prof who hasn't been around for years, actually i think it was aaron) that anna faris is a comedic genius to really enjoy that ...

I saw this one this afternoon Angel, what a beautiful film, very old fashioned and elegant.

Another chance to use this icon given it's a bar movie!



I'll see if I can check out a few others from your list.

Two tiers of 8 for the time being. North on Evers from Benning looks fantastic and would undoubtedly be on this list if I could find a nice copy to watch, rather than the pixelly one on YouTube. Queasy about the Hedenius film because of the taxidermy, but I'll have a think about that. There's a few ...

Great to read how you enjoyed it. When I was a young Plympton enthusiast I also thought it was his worst movie. But nowadays I'm of the opinion it is by far his best. But I can understand what might irritate people about the film. Plympton has also directed many other great films. A true auteur and...

Angel did a really good job, hampered by me continuously whining by me about all the arthouse short revotes falling of DtC like Autumn leaves. Sorry Angel!

great to have your ballots, shara and oOgiandujaOo, lots of scfz favorites on there, along with several titles that are unfamiliar to me that i'll have to investigate... Preliminarily, I've sent the mail a job to bring me Plympton's The Tune (courtesy of wba's recco) Wow, that's great! :cowboy: I d...

Final result for my own noms was: Incorporated into DtC: The Small World of Sammy Lee (1963 - Ken Hughes) 3.73/11 Holdover: Consuming Spirits (2012 - Chris Sullivan) 4.14/7 My biggest regret was Les bas-fonds / The Lower Depths (1936 - Jean Renoir) 3.50/24 I really love the hell out of that movie My...

Highest average rating: lovericekim-4,95 this is the one issue i have with the tabulation (getting voters to rate each individual film is the best system, overall, but it's still not perfect). when one voter gives an average rating of almost 5, really what you're partly measuring when averaging the...

Consuming Spirits (Chris Sullivan, 2012)

Halfway this one, and it's amazing!

Glad to find someone else has made their way to a table at the "Juice of the Barley"

great to have your ballots, shara and oOgiandujaOo, lots of scfz favorites on there, along with several titles that are unfamiliar to me that i'll have to investigate... Along with the warm brandy nostalgia of completing the exercise to make a top 100 list, finding out about everyone else's weird a...

5 tiers of 20, hope I made the deadline Edvard Munch (Peter Watkins, 1974) The Satin Slipper (Manoel de Oliveira, 1985) Time Masters (Rene Laloux, 1982) Children of Paradise (Marcel Carne, 1945) Morvern Callar (Lynne Ramsay, 2002) The Desert of the Tartars (Valerio Zurlini, 1976) The Mother and the ...

Already submitted on ICM, but here we are for SCFZ: A Pál utcai fiúk / The Boys of Paul Street (1968 - Zoltán Fábri) On Approval (1944 - Clive Brook) Deadfall (1968 - Bryan Forbes) Patterns (1956 - Fielder Cook) Jofroi (1933 - Marcel Pagnol) Regain / Harvest (1937 - Marcel Pagnol) Club de femmes (19...

Thanks for mentioning this one, I had not heard of it before. A lot of fun, I had a little squeal of delight at one of the funkier shots.

It's free to watch here if anyone is interested: https://www.undergroundfilmjournal.com/ ... laristics/

Highest tier at the top, 4 tiers of 3. Upstream Color (2013 - Shane Carruth) Inside Llewyn Davis (2013 - Joel and Ethan Coen) Трудно быть богом / Trudno byt bogom / Hard to be a God (2013 - Aleksey German) Under The Skin (2013 - Jonathan Glazer) Nymphomaniac (2013 - Lars von Trier) When Evening Fall...

hard to be a god - 30 mins in Like watching a three-hour version of Holy Grail's "Bring Out Your Dead" sketch with the jokes removed credit: mike d'angelo but i swear i was thinking something very similar also it's extremely gross so far. like the aesthetic is interesting and at the same ...

Two tiers: うる星やつら２　ビューティフル・ドリーマー / Urusei Yatsura 2 Byūtifuru Dorīmā / Urusei Yatsura 2: Beautiful Dreamer (1984 - Mamoru Oshii) Kaos (1984 - Paolo & Vittorio Taviani) Klassenverhältnisse / Class Relations (1984 - Danièle Huillet & Jean-Marie Straub) Dune (1984 - David Lynch) Forbrydelsens e...

Btw did anyone notice how strikingly similar this list is to Cahiers' list? Ignoring the picks Cahiers chose from previous years, they're very very similar, except of course the diss to The French Dispatch from SCFZ. Anette, Memoria, Drive My Car, France, The Card Counter, Benedetta all made their l...

I'm sorry for missing this one, safe to say I would not have had an effect on the top polling positions, as none of the top 10 were on my list. The French Dispatch I note does not even make the 100, I wonder if, as with Godard that people are tired of seeing the same record on the player from Mr And...

Some of the major films from 2021 are in the cinema right now for me. By the end of the weekend I will have seen The Worst Person In The World and several others critical darlings too. I understand the aesthetic concept of parrying the odious Academy Awards, if you can wait until Sunday then that's ...
