Comments

My choice mainly concerns the idea of formulating the cinematic language, with films that all somehow developed and enriched the art of cinema and its possibilities. The exception is Casablanca, which hardly brought anything new. But then, for many of us, it was “the beginning of a beautiful friendship” – the one we had and still have with movies.
