A list of twenty of my favorite films...

Most of the twenty films on this list - all but Persona, Zerkalo, L’Avventura, Dekalog, and 2001 - became the focus of works included in Cinéma Vérité. I began listing the list films I did write about, but quickly realized the list was too long. If it's any consolation to the few that didn't enter the book, I did write pieces that connected with three films by Bergman, one by Tarkovsky, two by Antonioni, four by Kieślowski, and one by Kubrick.

***

The list - more or less in order:

Persona / Ingmar Bergman, dir. (1966)

Vertigo / Alfred Hitchcock, dir. (1958)

Zerkalo / Andrei Tarkovsky, dir. (1975)

L’Avventura / Michelangelo Antonioni, dir. (1960)

Rashomon / Akira Kurosawa, dir. (1950)
