1. Four by Ingmar Bergman<\/strong>
\nI watched Winter Light<\/a><\/em> and The Silence<\/a><\/em>, then moved forward to Autumn Sonata<\/a><\/em> and back to The Seventh Seal<\/a><\/em>, also checking out a documentary<\/a> about Bergman. Spacing these out every few months ensured that his cinema was always on my mind this year.<\/p>\n

2. Roman Polanski’s apartment trilogy<\/strong>: Repulsion<\/a><\/em>, Rosemary’s Baby<\/a><\/em> and The Tenant<\/a><\/em>
\nTook the opposite approach of the Bergmans, watching all these in one month. Whether this was intended as a trilogy or not, they’re all really interesting together, and each is terrific on its own.<\/p>\n

3. Valerie and Her Week of Wonders<\/a><\/em> (Jaromil Jires)<\/strong><\/p>\n

4. Yoyo<\/a><\/em> (Pierre Etaix)<\/strong><\/p>\n

5. Possession<\/a><\/em> (Andrzej Zulawski)<\/strong>
\nThis had similarities to The Tenant<\/em>, and both Zulawski and Polanski worked with Wajda. It was a good year for movies by Polish directors with hidden connections.<\/p>\n

6. House of Tolerance<\/a><\/em> (Bertrand Bonello)<\/strong><\/p>\n

7. Kanal<\/a><\/em> (Andrzej Wajda)<\/strong><\/p>\n

8. Deseret<\/a><\/em> (James Benning)<\/strong><\/p>\n

9. Red Desert<\/a><\/em> (Michelangelo Antonioni)<\/strong><\/p>\n

10. A Foreign Affair<\/a><\/em> (Billy Wilder)<\/strong><\/p>\n

11. D’est<\/a><\/em> (Chantal Akerman)<\/strong>
\nIt is a weird thing to watch this on a laptop in 2014.<\/p>\n

12. Spectre<\/a><\/em> (Jacques Rivette)<\/strong>
\nI think watching this at home with interruptions, versus seeing Out 1<\/a><\/em> in theaters, was detrimental to the experience. Watching it felt more like an academic exercise than an immersive feature film. That might be the reason why I didn’t know what to do with L’Amour Fou<\/a><\/em> a few years ago.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
