Julien Faddoul
5. Moonrise Kingdom
For a romance which, from first shot to last, completely convinces in tone, aesthetic and significance.
4. Amour
For a devastating sonnet that never simplifies the entanglements of immense emotional pain that is inevitable for all of us.
.
3. Holy Motors
For a visionary dissection on cinematic storytelling that is both sombre and humorous and utterly irresistible.
2. Lincoln
For the year's most remarkably human endeavor. It's not only the year's highest accomplishment of craft, but also of the heart.
1. The Color Wheel
For an astonishing chapter in the story of the cinema. Plucked from the depths of where all true cinema is born, this film towered over every other. It is the best film I saw in 2012.
