The thing about lists is not only that they’re subjective, but that they can also change radically, depending on the moment in which they’re formulated. Of course it is practically impossible to choose only ten titles from the more than a thousand that I would like to include in the list. But so be it… some I’ve chosen for more cinematographic reasons, others for more personal reasons - because of a special perception of a particular moment in my life (as you mentioned in your invitation) that matters at this very precise moment that I am formulating the list… so here is my selection of ten titles: It could have been a completely different list, but this one is composed of very well known films, all of them fascinating for one reason or another.
