While we're at it, I managed to scrape together a top 10 of 2022 list. A much more difficult exercise in its own way given the dearth of good cinema in a single calendar year, but here's what I loved/didn't hate.
1. Marcel the Shell With Shoes On (Dean Fleischer-Camp, US)
2. Memoria (Apichatpong Weerasethakul, Colombia/Thailand)
3. Tár (Todd Field, US)
4. Petite Maman (Céline Sciamma, France)
5. Rien à foutre (Julie Lecoustre, France/Belgium)
6. We're All Going to the World's Fair (Jane Schoenbrun, US)
7. Les Olympiades, Paris 13e (Jacques Audiard, France)
8. Official Competition (Gastón Duprat, Mariano Cohn, Spain)
9. Vortex (Gaspar Noé, France)
10. EO (Jerzy Skolimowski, Poland)
I'm not ready to make a list yet, but "We're All Going..." will be on it, thanks to you. As will Memoria. Sorry to say that nothing in the last half of the year changed my opinion that this is the worst year for movies in decades. Or maybe it's me!
