The last day of 2010—tomorrow is another year, another set of films, hopes and aspirations.
A good time to make a list of a bests and worsts—entirely personal and subjective. Obviously, the big, commercial hits are not on the top of the heap, because they will win all the popular awards anyway. It’s the brave new cinema, that exists by crossing all hurdles that deserves applause and encouragement.
