I know right? I realize my list is relatively sci fi heavy, but sci fi and cinema both were both raised in the 20th century and are targets for assassination by technologists of the 21st century. Our ability to dream the future and redresm the past is intricately connected to our ability to make great movies.
Brilliant list, although I’ve only seen 3/5. Still gotta catch Mabuse and Sans Soleil. I toiled with adding Tetsuo to mine, but I thought it would be too rigorous for my approach of aiding “newbie” cinephiles. I especially love your first pick and know I need to rewatch!
I’m also enjoying the mental image of someone coming into this with little knowledge of film, and finding themselves watching Testuo: The Iron Man.
Here’s to all us who meet at Tetsuo / Sans Soleil / Stalker crossroads!
