W ostatnich dniach swoje listy ulubionych filmów 2018 roku
przedstawiło wielu znaczących twórców współczesnego kina, ale także cenionych
osób z życia publicznego. W tym gronie zwracam uwagę na wybory m.in.: Pedro
Almodovara, byłego prezydenta USA Baracka Obamy, Edgara Wrighta, Debry Granik i
Guillermo del Toro. Często pojawia się tutaj „Zimna wojna”, ale co ciekawe zauważono
też „Twarz” Małgorzaty Szumowskiej.

Kimberly Peirce
1. “Cold War”
(Pavel Pawlikowski): An erotic, mature political love story inspired by Pavel’s
parents and the Cold War era they endured. I was enthralled throughout, by the
sexuality, performances and lush cinematography. For me, it was a welcome
return to Fellini’s “8 ½” and “La Dolce Vita.” And Joanna Kulig’s transformation
from a manipulative teenage girl making love in the field to a plump, fallen
performer with mascara running down her face at the end was breathtaking.
2. “Capernaum” (Nadine Labaki)
3. “Roma” (Alfonso Cuaron)
4. “The Favourite” (Yorgos Lanthimos)
5. “Blindspotting” (Carlos Lopez Estrada)
Edgar Wright

“Mandy”
“Eighth Grade”
“They Shall Not Grow Old”
“Can You Ever Forgive Me?”
“Cold War”
“Searching”
“Mission Impossible: Fallout”
“Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse”
“Hereditary”
Debra Granik
Ta reżyserka, autorka zeszłorocznego „Leave No Trace”
podzieliła swoje ulubione filmy 2018 roku na kilka list. Osobne miejsce
znalazło się dla dokumentów, filmów lubianych jako matka nastoletniego dziecka,
filmów amerykańskich i w końcu filmów z innych miejsc. IndieWire cytuje
reżyserkę, która mówi o tym ostatnim zestawieniu i wymienia tam film Małgorzaty
Szumowskiej (tekst w oryginale):
IV. FILMS FROM OTHER PLACES
I started the year with loving “The Other Side Of Hope”
(Finland), which was a 2017 release, but only shown in NY in 2018. It took on
immigration and issues of threat and survival with dry comedy. I admire
Kaurismäki for his ability to do this.
“Yomeddine” (Egypt): I thought the performance of the lead
was astounding. I was in love with his method of survival. I was incredulous. I
was shown something I’ve never seen.
“Capernaum” (Lebanon): A forceful and textured depiction the
protagonist’s existence. The details of his day to day and survival tactics
were exactingly photographed. The film imprints on you and makes you want
something for another person. Labaki’s film does what a hard hitting social
realist film can do — commits one to witness a life outside one’s own, what it
takes to live it, and how precious help is. How she filmed in such hard places
and got the performances left me in awe.
“Land Imagined” (Singapore): I liked being transported to a
place and set of existential issues that were not familiar. I was impressed
with the social realist techniques applied in a fresh way.
“The Pluto Moment” (China): The humor was very appealing to
me, and I felt like I got to see locations and aspects of Chinese filmmaking
that I’d never been introduced to. The structure and the mixing of genres and
techniques kept my filmmaking side alert and well fed.
“En Guerre” (France): I rejoice when I see the overtly
political film that can keep suspense in the mix. Few can make films about the
contemporary fight for survival among the 99% and dare to confront management
face to face.
“Shéhérazade” (France): I thought the casting was searingly
strong. I hesitate about some of the material that is familiar about the
streets, but so much was precise, that in the end, I was super dazzled by the
force and determination of the filmmaking and ended up appreciating that it had
a number of fresh and incisive twists.
“Todo Lo Demas” (Mexico, exhibited in NY 2018): This
satirical take on everyday life in Mexico City. Excited to check in with
contemporary Mexican filmmaking whenever I can.
“Mug” (Poland,
“Twarz” is original title): Director: Malgorzata Szumowska. This one just took
me by surprise. I was enveloped by the atmosphere and the setting. I was thrown
into a whole fresh set of ideas to contemplate. I like comedy in the midst of
social realism.
