Ridiculous exercise! Shouldn’t it be 25 greatest by now? How can I leave out Late Spring, Topsy-Turvy, A Woman Under the Influence, Inland Empire, Germany Year Zero, L’Age d’or, L’Atalante, Barry Lyndon, Killer of Sheep, Orpheus, Xala, Imitation of Life, The Uncertainty Principle, Fear Eats the Soul, Angry Harvest and on and on. Or perhaps I should have named only Histoire(s) du cinéma – no more idiosyncratic than this list, and far more generous.
