He looks jewish, and his surname sounds jewish too.

Has to be wrong. The Avengers and Star Wars The Force Awakens aren't on there.

Adam Ramirez

I've literally not seen a single film on that list. I've only heard of like 3 of them at most.

>trashing American Sniper God, please don't be so obvious. Even the film critics of Cahiers du Cinéma have an idea that Clint is one of the most talented directors.

If American Sniper is one of the best films from the 21st century then it sure must be a shitty century my man

pretty lame list
Wyatt James
>Even the film critics of Cahiers du Cinéma have an idea that Clint is one of the most talented directors. I don't disagree with this assessment at all, but I do happen to think it's one of his weaker films. Letters From Iwo Jima is his best movie from the century though.
Anthony Bailey
however redpill me on modern Godard, are we gonna get influxed by people saying it's his best work soon after he died and is it worthy?

Inception???

Adam Bailey
Isn't surprising that inception isn't there. Most respected film critics can't stand Nolan.
>There's no push-pull around Leo's torrid emoting, and when the "We're awake now—or are we?" kicker catches you in the pants, who cares? It's obvious that Nolan either can't articulate or doesn't believe in a distinction between living feelings and dreams—and his barren Inception doesn't capture much of either. -Nick Pinkerton
>Every character except for Dom is basically a cipher. Nolan’s lickety-split pacing makes it difficult, if not impossible, to invest in Gordon-Levitt’s taciturn point man or Hardy’s master-of-psychic-disguise beyond their status as lean, tailored graphic objects. Page is nothing more than an audience surrogate, and she’s frequently an afterthought to the action. The “inception” is just a pretense for the many-tiered action sequences. - Adam Nayman
Jackson Edwards
>bitching about minor character points >no mention of the imagery or the music or sound effects its like the movie takes place on a piece of paper for them or something
Juan Morales
Sicario is disonest filmmaking, Denis always has been trash.
Jonathan Lee
Thought that was Doug marsh from the thumbnail
Dylan Lopez
His 21st century stuff is great, he hasn't lost it. Each period of his work builds on the last, so people who want digital Bande A Part will be disappointed, but people who appreciate his development throughout the decades will dig it.
Ethan Bell
I hate France on so many things, but I really like how they respect Clint Eastwood. Much more than the Brits or Americans themselves
These are all references to cinematic aspects, not characterisation. The lack of characterisation is a problem for Nayman, but it's not all that's being discussed. Pinkerton's point is about the filmmaker's philosophy.
If you're going to be treated as a major director, then you have to have an interest in people beyond the shape of them in the frame. Movies aren't animatics.
Liam Jones
>19 "Gentlemen Broncos" I'm not alone
Anthony Sanchez
>The Future Fucking why
Carter Diaz
It's hard to believe that someone who sees what's so great in the films by Godard, Kiarostami, Carax, Varda, Zhangke, Davies, Sembene and Eastwood could rate all the other crap on his list. I mean, Wes Anderson is fun, but eighth best of the century? It's not plausible that someone perceptive enough to rate the good stuff on his list would be capable of rating a Sofia Coppola film above a Varda, Sembene or Eastwood, so I'm dubious about how many of these choices are guided by his own discernment, and how many are him passively reflecting currents created by other critics.
We also have to bear in mind that he wrote a book about Godard which accuses Godard of anti-Semitism for criticizing Israel and Spielberg. Sooooo... caveat emptor.
Jonathan Collins
>professional film critic jerks off to pretentious art movies or shit with a political agenda Stop the presses.
Ian Reed
I guess it's a good list in the sense of variation and not so obvious picks but I think there's some bad stuff on it. If I made a list it wouldn't be as good because I don't get paid to watch literally everything and it'd be pretty boring.
Yeah his politics are completely fucked up

I've seen some of those!

Andrew Clark
I will never ever ever understand the love Eastwood has as a director. His films are so thoroughly mediocre in every way to me, at least all the ones I've seen from the last 20 years
Wyatt Butler
>2 "The Wolf of Wall Street"
Ryder Anderson
No dude, if it has some trippy visuals or totally awesome setpieces then it's kino and the writing literally doesn't matter. Because film is a visual medium even though none of the canonized films suffer visually or thematically and can be engaging on both fronts. Get with the program
Anthony Hernandez
I'm with you there user, although I thought Letters From Iwo Jima was fantastic.
Christian Hall

Christopher Williams
Ummmmmm, who cares. Seriously, who even is this. I've never even heard of the films on this list.
The least you could do is give a link to his YouTube countdown of his "top 25"
