1) Locke (one man, one car, one journey, and the most heartfelt way to say ‚Fuck Chicago‘) 2) Frank (waiting for the gift of sound and darkness) 3) The Dallas Buyers‘ Club (one of these movies that make you look fo the essence of it all) 4) The Grand Budapest Hotel (old european twilight zones, fairytale meets wartime, inspired by Stefan Zweig) 5) A Field in England (like a drugged nightmare that cuts off the horizon, final game with a vision) 6) ’71 (the spirit of John Carpenter works here, and for the best) 7) Maps to the Stars (David Cronenberg’s dance of the living dead in Hollywood) 8) 20,000 Days On Earth (an inventive portrait of Nick Cave between privacy and persona) 9) 12 Years A Slave (hard stuff, great acting, dark times) 10) Cold In July (film noir Joe R. Lansdale-style)
