  1. Ernest Cole: Lost and Found
    Peck’s film, in which LaKeith Stanfield narrates a kind of heightened, fictionalised first-person account from Cole’s own writings and diaries, is devastatingly sad. It is the sadness of an artist who becomes estranged, not merely from his homeland, but from his art and his livelihood.
  2. Deaf President Now!
    With a blend of archive footage and re-enactments the film-makers skilfully recreate the urgency, passion and energy of their protest.
  3. Once Upon a Time in Anatolia
    With his two early features, "Distant" (2002) and "Climates" (2006), Ceylan has showed himself a superb film-maker. This is his greatest so far.
  4. John McEnroe: In the Realm of Perfection
    McEnroe makes a fascinating focal point.

    3 Godfathers
    It's a comical sentimental reworking of the journey of the Magi, with John Wayne, Pedro Armendariz and Harry Carey Jr as the soft-hearted outlaws. [01 Mar 2008, p.53]

  6. Art Talent Show
    Film-makers Adéla Komrzý and Tomáš Bojar are interested not only in the individual subjects, but also the hidden machinations of cultural institutions.
  7. Stranger by the Lake
    The tired old trope "erotic thriller" does no justice to how confrontationally and explicitly sexual this movie is — nor how thrilling, nor how menacing and complex.
  8. The Stranger
    François Ozon’s lustrously beautiful and superbly realised monochrome version of Albert Camus’s novella L’Etranger has an almost supernaturally detailed sense of period and place. It amounts to a passionate act of ancestor worship in honour of a renowned French artwork, though by making changes that bring a contemporary perspective on the book’s themes of empire and race – changes that include a critique of the original text – this adaptation perhaps loses some of its source material’s brutal, heartless power and arguably some of the title’s meaning.
  9. Oliver Sacks: His Own Life
    What a man. Just writing this makes me want to watch the documentary all over again.
