I'm someone who ranks Soigne ta Droite pretty high, and wants to rewatch the films from the 90s onward to get to know them better, but...
Miéville has made some excellent films, though, including Après la réconciliation.

"Godard only gets good in 1973" is not an opinion I've encountered elsewhere.
― devvvine, Saturday, 11 March 2023 18:58 (one year ago) link
Think its a more worn out opinion these days than when amateurist was putting this. More like an over-correction, but 60s Godard still dominant in the top 100 so..

I watched Satantango and Madame de. Loved them both, but I'm still voting for the music and color and spectacle of Once upon a Time in the West!
And now I'm up to 95 out of the 100.

Yup! I like it but don't love it as much Quince Tree of the Sun.
The biggest issue in the top 100 was the lack of Spanish Language cinema.

Agreed

For those who like The Spirit of the Beehive then I recommend you watch this brilliant film with the same child actor

my experience is that SotB has really ardent fans, feels like it's one of those movies where if you love it you LOVE IT

Same actress also in Alejandro Amenábar’s breakout debut, Tesis/Thesis.Erice only made one film per decade, if that, and all were different kinds of classic, he’s kind of a Spanish Dreyer, what’s not to love.

I went to see his second film, El Sur, at the Walter Reade Theater at Film in Lincoln Center and while I was trying to get in I saw him standing against the wall in the interzone between the theater itself and the concession stand. At which point I also noticed a guy I sort of knew from college coming out that I would run into at screenings a lot and asked him “did he do a Q&A?” He said yes and that he told a funny story about how he came to cast Ana Torrent after interviewing a bunch of other children. Erice said he asked her “do you know who Doctor Frankenstein is?” to which she replied “yes, but we haven’t been introduced yet.”

I also voted for Yi Yi. Hard to explain why, but I feel just deeply involved in it every time I watch.

I like it but don't love it as much Quince Tree of the Sun.
I remember my roommate vacillating about seeing this: "this guy's a painter, he's painting a tree, what's the big deal..." He loved it!
