CAHIERS DU CINEMA TOP 10 - STRANGER BY THE LAKE ON TOP

Cahiers du Cinema, when compared to what the rest of the awards voting industry comes up with, is one of the smartest and most independently-minded groups out there. Their Top 10 each year is eagerly awaited by toffs and ponces, and me! A poncey toff. Four of these films are very good, two are not, four I have not seen.

1. Stranger by the Lake (Alain Guiraudie)
2. Spring Breakers (Harmony Korine)
3. Blue Is the Warmest Colour (Abdellatif Kechiche)
4. Gravity (Alfonso Cuaron)
5. A Touch of Sin (Jia Zhang Ke)
6. Lincoln (Steven Spielberg)
7. Jealousy (Philippe Garrel)
8. Nobody's Daughter Hae Won (Hong Sang Soo)
9. You and the Night (Yann Gonzalez)
10. La Bataille de Solferino (Justine Triet)
