Sight & Sound 2011 Top 10


Having viewed The Turin Horse this evening, I have now seen all the films on the Sight & Sound Top 10 of 2011 list except for This Is Not a Film, of which I have missed or not heard of a local showing, and which is not yet released on home video.

We could divide up the list thus:

EXPECTATIONS DISAPPOINTED:


We Need to Talk About Kevin
A Separation


EXPECTATIONS SOMEWHAT DISAPPOINTED:


The Kid With a Bike
The Artist


EXPECTATIONS SATISFIED:


Melancholia


EXPECTATIONS MET AND EXCEEDED:


The Tree of Life
Once Upon a Time in Anatolia
Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy
The Turin Horse


IN A CLASS OF ITS OWN:


Le Quattro Volte


I'm open to discuss any of these, any time.
