My 30 Favourite Movies from the Cannes Film Festival.
The most anticipated film festival in the world is held in Cannes, France. It is one of the most important film festivals in the world.
Here are some of my favourite best Cannes movies. 😍
30)Borton Fink (1991) By Coen Brothers 😍 : Partly hilarious, partly horrifying, completely mesmerizing. Nothing turns out as it seems, and the surreal finale to the film elevate the movie to being one of the Coens' best. Creepy, nasty, and has peeling wallpaper! 4/4 🪨
29) Days of Heaven (1978) by Terrence Malick 😍 : Visually and thematically, it is still one of the most beautiful films ever made. This is the immense, unconventional power of a true artist. It's a movie made by a man who knew how something felt, and found a way to instill it in us. 4/4 🪨
28) The Conversation (1974) by Francis Ford Coppola 😍 : The Conversation is definitely one of Francis Ford Coppola's best work as well as being very psychological and scary. An absorbing character study of a paranoid loner. 4/4 🪨
27) The Artist (2011) By Michel Hazanavicius 😍 : Words defeat me. You'll go with several ideas, but this is the most important of them all: a film like The Artist is why movies get made. 4/4 🪨
26) In The Mood For Love (2000) By Wong Kar-wai 😍 : It is a film of emotions, of words left unsaid, a film that is vividly alive, a sensual experience like no other. The tension between romantic attraction and sexual fulfillment builds up to an almost unbearable intensity. 4/4 🪨
25) Apocalypse Now (1979) Francis Ford Coppola 😍 : Certainly, no film in history has ever produced convincing evidence that the war is living in hell. The power of this movie is undeniable and once watched it cannot be easily forgotten. It is a great hell ride. 4/4 🪨
24) The Tree of Life (2011) By Terrence Malick 😍 : Better than a masterpiece whatever it is The Tree of Life is a movie blast, something to live with, think about, and talk about later. 4/4 🪨
23) Once Upon a Time in... Hollywood (2019) by Quentin Tarantino 😍 : Damn, I love this movie. It is Tarantino's best, bravest and most confrontational impudent movie since Pulp Fiction. An epic tone about dreams filled with violence and jealousy and credulity comes across as poetry. 4/4 🪨
22) 4 Months, 3 Weeks and 2 Days (2007) by Cristian Mungiu 😍 : I'm glad I saw it, although I can't imagine I want to watch it again. It's a tough movie to watch, especially if you know where it leads I had to brace myself to see it a second time. But it is an important film, one of very good sentiments. 4/4 🪨
21) Stalker (1979) by Andrei Tarkovsky 😍 : This is a film that challenges us to be bored while refusing to be bored. An emotionally and philosophically intense experience that rewards patience and attention and demands repeated viewing of all. 4/4 🪨
20) Amour (2012) by Michael Haneke 😍 : If love really conquers all things, this is its ultimate test, and Haneke's keen vision will last until the day we die.
With Amour, Haneke captures the grief of our own mortality in a delicate and deeply human way. 4/4 🪨
19) Sex, Lies, and Videotape (1989) by Steven Soderbergh 😍 : It's a sexy, nuanced, beautifully controlled examination of how a quartet of people are defined by their sensual impulses and inhibitions. It shows that it is not lack of money but intelligence that makes a memorable film. 4/4 🪨
18) La dolce vita (1960) by Federico Fellini 😍 : Fellini's poetic sensibilities are in full effect. There is also a tremendous intimacy that roots the film's portrayal of sin in the soil of introspection. 4/4 🪨
17) Paris, texas (1984) by Wim Wenders 😍 : I felt like I was growing and learning how to live with this movie. That's some mighty bullshit that I can't say often. Paris, texas is gentle, patient, laxative, poignant, intimate - sharp, I need a few more adjectives to capture it. 4/4 🪨
16) Caché (Hidden) (2005) by Michael Haneke 😍 : It was, by far, one of the best films I have seen. Not only did it mesmerize me, but it also made me think for the days to come. One of the most important and oddly entertaining films of recent years 4/4 🪨
15) Oldboy (2003) by Park Chan-wook 😍 : A sly, complex, introspective beast inflicts astonishing brutality on its protagonist like a slow-acting venom. Combining heart-wrenching physical and emotional toughness, jaw-dropping seminal masterwork. Its beauty is that it considers itself seriously dead. It's not entertainment, but it's definitely a piece of rigor. 4/4 🪨
14) Titane (2021) by Julia Ducournau 😍 : Titan is undeniable. It is a film that is unapologetic in its brutality and takes a look at self-discovery, providing a duality that will make the film something that audiences will talk about for quite some time. Some will be driven away, many will be dodged. But for those hungry for a cinema that takes you in the stomach, Ducournau delivers the goods. At its heart, it is that old chestnut: the story of two lost, deeply damaged souls finding each other. 4/4 🪨
13) All about eve (1950) by Joseph L. Mankiewicz 😍 : A film in which everyone is busy learning all they can about her character remains fascinating, dangerously clueless. It crackles with smart, smarting dialogue. 4/4 🪨
12) Good Time (2017) by Safdie brothers 😍 : A tragedy of errors, Good Time is quite possibly the most empathetic portrayal of thieves I've ever seen. The Safdies have filled every moment with not only character logic, but with a deep essence of truth. 4/4 🪨
11)Nebraska (2014) by Alexander Payne 😍 : No pretentiousness, no emotional performance. No outrageous plot twists. No CGI. Just regular people with their circumstances, quietly, with dignity, and obsessed with director Alexander Payne's signature dry wit. Alexander Payne proved that modest stories can be the most powerful. 4/4 🪨
10) Naked (1993) by Mike Leigh 😍 : An unemployed Brit vents his rage on unsuspecting strangers as he embarks on a nocturnal London odyssey. This is a movie of virtuoso nihilism and scorn. Watching the burning descent of this lost soul is a harrowing but exhilarating experience. Leigh makes art out of his own ambition. 4/4 🪨
9) Fargo (1996) by Coen Brothers 😍 : It's a miracle : a tough, honest, bloody film so far from bright lights that it feels as though it's on a different planet, yet knowable and utterly compelling from start to finish. Fargo is great filmmaking. 4/4 🪨
8) The Seventh Seal (1957) By Ingmar Bergman 😍 : It is an uncompromising film, about good and evil with the same simplicity and conviction as its protagonist. 4/4 🪨
7)Pather Panchali (1955) by Satyajit Ray 😍 : It's the simplest, down to earth, and very heartfelt. Specifically it's about India, but really it's about everyone. A film that speaks so directly and so sharply about human pain and human joy and most importantly human dignity. 4/4 🪨
6)Blow-Up (1966) by Michelangelo Antonioni 😍 : It doesn't matter whether there was murder or not. The film is about a character steeped in jealousy and dislike, who gets excited by his pictures and falls into an obsession. 4/4 🪨
5) Taxi Driver (1976) By Martin Scorsese 😍 : No other film has ever dramatized urban indifference so powerfully; at first, here, it's horrifyingly funny, and then just horrifying.
Martin Scorsese's unflinching plunge into the darkest recesses of the human soul feels painfully relevant. A dark, powerful, stylized, potent production that takes the viewer deeper into a persona of insanity. 4/4 🪨
4)Mulholland Drive (2001) By David Lynch 😍 : David Lynch's gloriously specific and frustrating masterpiece still stands as an unparalleled, idiosyncratic work of cinema.
Alluring and unnerving, Lynch's horror-show reminds us how much cinema misses him. 4/4 🪨
3) Pulp fiction (1994) by Quentin Tarantino 😍 : It's hot, it's cool and for a movie that sometimes comes down to you like an indiscriminate fistfight it's always playful. Even at its most goofy it's essential stuff. 4/4 🪨
2)No Country for old men (2007) by Coen brothers 😍 : Relentless in method, challenging in presentation, and unforgettable in execution. One of the best direction ever. This movie is a masterful evocation of time, place, character, moral choices, immoral certainties, human nature and fate. 4/4 🪨
Honorable mentioned ❤️ : Drive (2011), Blue is the warmest color (2013), The white ribbon (2009), Brief Encounter (1945) , The third man (1949) , Uncle Boonmee Who Can Recall His Past Lives (2010) , Cinema Paradiso (1988) , The great beauty (2013) , Shoplifters (2018), Do the Right Thing (1989), The pianist (2002), Drive my car (2021), The 400 Blows (1959), Whiplash (2014), The piano (1993).
1) Parasite (2019) by Bong Joon-ho 😍 : It's a filmmaker acting at the top of his game, aided by brilliant satirical writing that feels as culturally relevant as it resonates emotionally. This is a flawless knockout in every sense of the word. Bong Joon-ho's work is as playful as it is honest and revelatory. He'll make you feel like home, and then tear the rug out from under you. 4/4 🪨
