It’s a showcase of Woody Allen’s glibly amusing writing. Sly and darkly funny, ‘Blue Jasmine’ works both as a satirical commentary and a character study. And that’s why I have no hesitation in proclaiming it the best film of the year. In a year that can easily be termed as “the year of strong women”, ‘Lady Bird’ stands out as the film that represents 2017 the best. A partly autographical story about a girl trying to break away from her family and find her own feet is told in a fashion that is instantly charming and cathartic. With ‘Lady Bird’, she proves herself as a great director as well. Greta Gerwig has already proved herself to be a great actress. A brilliant, daring film that is easily among year’s best and an Oscar contender in many categories. He gently guides the actors, encouraging them always to greater heights, keeps the sex scenes toned down, and allows the intense heat it sun dappled Italy to be a second character. Call Me By Your Name (2017)ĭirector Luca Guadagnino directs the film with a confidence that is exciting to see in an emerging filmmaker. Whenever that happens in future, I am sure people are going to look back at ‘Her’ and at Spike Jonze in disbelieved awe on foreseeing the future with such disarming precision. The idea of falling in love with an Artificial Intelligence may sound outright silly, but the way we are getting overly dependent on technology, that idea does not seem slightest bit inconceivable from realms of possibilities in near future. The true worth of ‘Her’ will be realized when the idea that it is based upon gets ultimately realized. Typically such an approach is reserved for science fiction movies or thrillers, but Nolan busts that notion too and effectively uses it for telling a war story. So, while you are gripped with all that’s happening on screen, you also have to be attentive so as to follow the three simultaneously occurring stories. Apart from sweeping, extraordinary camera work and heart-pounding background score what also makes ‘Dunkirk’ so immersive is the way Nolan chooses to tell the story - that is in non-chronoligical fashion.
