Heraus kommt eine Top100, die schon seit Jahrzehnten als Leitfaden für alle Filminteressierte dient, um Filme als Kunstform zu erforschen und näher kennenzulernen.

Genau jetzt ist es wieder so weit. 10 Jahre sind rum und die Ergebnisse der Umfrage 2022 sind da.

Ist ja keine Bewertung, sondern eine Auswertung.

Wie auch ich mit Tree of Life, wählen einige Regisseure hier extra auch ein zwei Filme des neuen Jahrtausends aus, um auch auf bedeutende neuere Filme aufmerksam zu machen.

Parasite sagt viel aus über die heutige Gesellschaft und ist auch meisterhaft inszeniert. Passt schon. Wie bedeutend ein Film tatsächlich ist, merkt man aber meistens erst rückblickend nach vielen Jahren bzw. Jahrzehnten. Die größten Kunstwerke überdauern die Zeit.
