1. EXTRAORDINARY STORIES
I had a hard time choosing this time of year my film experience, which I do not know if it's safe to say, but maybe it's the first novel audiovisual history. Llinás you take advantage of many of the achievements of literature throughout history and make up a fascinating puzzle that contains the best of Bioy, Sabato, Borges and Kafka, with its maze of corridors and claustrophobic, but also Sebald, with its reconstruction of the past, memory and orality and literature classic adventures of Jules Verne, Jack London, and games and lists of Perec. Would not you love this movie Vila-Matas (there are also many their constant)?. For what is extraordinary stories? A high comedy, a disturbing thriller, a daring adventure film, a psychological reconstruction dostoyevskiana subjective ...? Total work of literature and cinema, explicit homages to Hitchcock (Rear Window is the most obvious) or Truffaut (mentioned the argument of The bride wore black) are not random, and there's plenty of games and temporary structural Resnais and Robbe-Grillet and the plots of Rivette. But if something came to mind during the viewing of the film was The New York Trilogy (and not just the red notebook on the man locked in a room or the three stories full of reflections and mirrors) and a very austeriana conception of art and life, with torrential stories about themselves as open endless Chinese boxes. The cat is sad and blue, yes, and the viewer, after seeing the film, inevitably wonder what must be the innate need for stories with which we are born and grow, and why is there this need to share, count, listen, and be surrounded by someone through something ... Extraordinary stories wonders with awe and fascination about the nature and the need to tell the fact, tip and receive at the same time. Invaluable for the greatness of their imperfection in more than four hours.
2. WALDEN AND VISIT Jonas Mekas
As I said at the time, was fascinating and pleasant stay in touch with Jonas Mekas casually after enjoying three hours of Walden. Another unforgettable experience.
3. EUSTACHE CYCLE IN THE FILM ARCHIVE
Because I had to know the work of Eustache beyond its two most popular long, The Mother and the Whore (one of my films header, no doubt) and Mes petites amoureuses. The great cycle of the film library We also found the author's creations such as Le cochon, Les photos d'Alix and, above all, Une sale histoire and fascinating Numéro zéro.
4. LE PONT DES ARTS
personal work of Eugene Green, drinking both Bresson and Buñuel and Rivette. Strictest, but also funny and sometimes disconcerting or even surreal, I do not recall a romantic dream of that caliber from the Marie and Julien Rivette or Jennie Dieterle. Hopefully you how to watch his latest film, The Portuguese religious.
5. Effi Briest
Another fascinating literary proposal, Effie Briest is usually one of the most unnoticed of Fassbinder films (at the time it has become my favorite), but certainly put a lot of the groundwork that has since followed the film Llinás. Never light was so pure and so clean narrative ...
6. TWO LOVERS
Another movie of the year, which inexplicably (for its cast of stars and its director solvent) has not yet gone through the charts. We hope to do soon, because the last work of James Gray is his strongest film, elegant and seamless. Flawless in their execution and their ambitions, Gray released the sweeping energy of love, passion and as always ... the family.
7. INTERNATIONAL RENCONTRES
A cinephile year's events in Madrid were, without doubt, the Rencontres Internationales, concluded between Paris, Madrid and Berlin, which tells Abraham this excellent article. On a personal level, I am left with the fascinating experience to see the Film D'Est, Akerman but can not be present.
8. TOUT EST PARDONEE All
a discovery of this girl, Mia Hansen Love, who made the leap across the chambers of the best possible way, with this impeccable family drama shows intricacies of parenthood, commitment, and finding oneself through the father figure.
9. OF TIME AND THE CITY / MY WINNIPEG
Diptych involuntarily on the city, memory and shared secrets. Each with its most peculiar style, Davies and Maddin us into his past as best they know how. The spectators, let us go.
10. commercial release
Because some were already seen before, never thinking that would be released (some have been bad and later released), but I have to mention my favorite of those who have gone through the charts in 2009:
PARANOID PARK
1.-2.-A CHRISTMAS CAROL
3.-THE RED BALLOON FLIGHT OF THE DAMNED BASTARD
4.-5.-THE LIMITS OF CONTROL
GRAN TORINO
6.-7.-YUKI AND NINA
STILL WALKING
8.-9.-SINGULARITIES OF A BLONDE GIRL
10.-WALTZ WITH BASHIR
