I bang on about film aesthetics, about formal innovation, and yet in my list of ten films, what do I see? People rather than style. Lonely, resilient people. Even Jack Lemmon in The Apartment is lonely. Taken together, my first five choices could teach much of what there is to know about film style, but look at the last three: black-and-white heartbreakers. A Moment of Innocence is very funny.
