Oh no, not another year end list!

But first, let’s remember… 2010.

01. Mistérios de Lisboa, Raoul Ruiz
02. Año bisiesto, Michael Rowe
03. Aurora, Cristi Puiu
04. I Wish I Knew, Jia Zhangke
05. Copie Conforme, Abbas Kiarostami
06. Uncle Boonmee Who Can Recall His Past Lives, Apichatpong Weerasethakul
07. Somewhere, Sofia Coppola
08. Enter the Void, Gaspar Noé
09. Au fond des bois, Benoit Jacquot
10. Unstoppable, Tony Scott

And now, ladies and gentlemen, I present to you my favorite films of 2011. (I’ll try to write a paragraph or two about them later).

Malick’s miracle is a narrative portent, where time and space meet in a cosmical and transcendental complicity.

Adeus, 2011.

Two Books

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Admittedly I haven’t read much last year, but the words contained in these books had a profound impact on me.

 

& Five Albums

Those were my favorite sonic moments of 2011, non-classical or film related.

Cinephilia

I didn’t care about a single character and like u was pretty bored with it
The characters were so annoying
The trailer made it look funny, which made me want to go see it
I paid for funny, not charming. They deliberatly (sic) mislead me with the trailer
So I walked out and got my money back
