Top 10 films of 2021 – A personal selection

15 December, 2021

It's about time we had a top 10 featuring some of the unusual suspects, thus defying the bombastic lists that would include Titane or Annette with closed eyes. Year after year, I notice there are fewer and fewer things that still have an effect on me when it's time to sum it up, so I'm glad these 10 films found me. (The only reason this list is missing Apichatpong Weerasethakul, Nadav Lapid and Ryusuke Hamaguchi is because their films haven't made it to yours truly yet; I'll catch up next year, it's a promise).
