2020 was an odd year for film.I was still watching 10+ films/week but many were older films that I was revisiting. I also lost my film list a few months ago and had to start over (reconstructing partly from memory). I still watched roughly 500 films this year but they weren't all new this time. In terms of new films, in no particular order: Top 15 for 2020 Nomadland (USA. dir. Chloe Zhao) Showbiz Kidz (USA. dir. Alex Winter) Kajillionaire (USA. dir. Miranda July) Murmur (Canada. dir. Heather Young) Never Rarely Sometimes Always (USA. dir. Eliza Hittman) Ma Rainey's Black Bottom (USA. George C Wolfe) The Kid Detective (Canada. dir. Evan Morgan) Sound of Metal (USA. dir. Darius Marder) Black Conflux (Canada. dir. Nicole Dorsey) Dead Dicks (Canada. dir. Lee Paula Springer and Chris Bavota) Lucky Grandma (USA. dir. Sasie Sealy) You Cannot Kill David Arquette (USA. dir. Price James and David Darg) Antigone (Quebec. dir. Sophie Deraspe) Corpus Cristi (Poland. dir. Jan Komasa) Cocoon (Germany. dir. Leo nie Krippendorff) |
