Andre Rublev: It’s hard to choose one Tarkovsky film over another, but I always return to this epic and beautiful film about the medieval Russian artist and mystic Andre Rublev. (image)
Stranger Than Paradise: This film changed everything for me. Unlike anything that came before, and imitated many times since.
A Woman Under the Influence: An uncomfortable, unflinching look at one woman’s descent into alcoholism. Gena Rowlands’ performance is so casually realistic that watching her feels like voyeurism.
Beauty and the Beast: More films should pair fairy tales with surrealism. As sparklingly original today as it was 60 years ago. (image)
