..a film MUST connect on an emotional level before any critical appraisal deserves be made.
Having said that, several come to mind. Antonioni's "Il Grido" and Glauber's "Deus e o Diabo na Terra do Sol really stay with me. Really, anything by Antonioni resonates powerfully.
Also l just rewatched "The Assassination of Jesse James By The Coward Robert Ford. An instant classic, I believe. Casey Affleck's performance is a tour de force. This is full of great performances and really captures the melancholic, lantern-lit atmosphere of that American time.
Speaking of westerns, I'll top this off with "Unforgiven". Or "Open Range". Or....."Missouri Breaks".
