Data point: I saw Alexander Payne do a Q&A last month, and he said the only masterpiece of the 21st century so far was Amour.
― Eazy, Wednesday, 21 June 2017 14:59 (seven years ago) link
He's half right in that Alexander Payne has directed no masterpieces this century.
― insidious assymetrical weapons (Eric H.), Wednesday, 21 June 2017 15:01 (seven years ago) link
he's half right in that Amour is the closest thing to a great movie directed by Haneke.

You've between you named all the postmillennial Haneke besides the best one

His 90s stuff is better anyway.

His 90s stuff is without merit.

I like a couple of Haneke films but hus superior/hectoring tone is a real liability when it takes over
speaking of beloved movies I loathe, down with The Turin Horse beyond the opening shot

The Clock would definitely be on mine, but i saw maybe 30% of it.
― Supercreditor (Dr Morbius), Wednesday, 21 June 2017 19:48 (seven years ago) link
He lists four Cronenberg movies and can't make room for more than one Kiarostami post-2000?
― insidious assymetrical weapons (Eric H.), Wednesday, 21 June 2017 19:56 (seven years ago) link
I must watch Down with Love (Reed). I love that JR uses the serious "surname only" format in his brackets.
I think I probably saw 30% of The Clock too. It was a fine few hours, but I'd rather not think of it as a film.
― Alba, Wednesday, 21 June 2017 19:58 (seven years ago) link
If one allows O.J. Made in America, one must allow The Clock.

Embrace of the Serpent should start making it onto some lists imo
― jmm, Wednesday, 21 June 2017 21:25 (seven years ago) link
It would be on my list, jmm. I don't think my list will be published.
― Alba, Wednesday, 21 June 2017 21:27 (seven years ago) link
i liked it fine, but a little too psychedelic for greatness.
― Supercreditor (Dr Morbius), Wednesday, 21 June 2017 21:53 (seven years ago) link
I liked it too but better film touching on similar subject called Ixcanul you should check out.

Embrace of the Serpent > Ixcanul. I'm not sure how similar they are, though. Wouldn't put either on them on a top 25 either.

I confused this with personal worst of the century contender A Good Year and was pretty shaken for a moment.
