Film:
Le Sang d'un Poète [The Blood of a Poet] - Jean Cocteau, 1930
Sansh? Day? [Sansho The Bailiff] - Kenji Mizoguchi, 1954
Un condamné à mort s'est échappé ou Le vent souffle où il veut [A Man Escaped or: The Wind Bloweth Where It Listeth] - Robert Bresson, 1956
Apur Sansar [The World of Apu] - Satyajit Ray, 1959
Khaneh siah ast [The House is Black] - Forough Farrokhzad, 1962
Ruka [The Hand] - Ji?i Trnka, 1965
Film - Samuel Beckett, 1965
Byt [The Flat] - Jan Švankmaer, 1968
La Femme Qui Se Poudre [The Woman Who Powders Herself] - Patrick Bokanowski, 1972
Sansho the Bailiff is immediately up there as one of the best things I have ever, ever seen. I'm certain I won't see more than 3 or 4 films better than it in my lifetime. Simply devastating.
