Everyone's free to like what they like obviously, but "Jeanne Dielman, 23 Quai du Commerce, 1080 Bruxelles" would also be at the top of a parody of this kind of list.
Exactly! 🤣
I'm not sorry I watched it. And I eventually came to understand what the filmmaker was going for. I'm grateful to at least be able to have a frame of reference when it comes up.
But calling it the "greatest film of all time"...? 😐
This list makes me want to re-watch some of Mike Leigh's film. Oh and " The Long Good Friday " !
