Comments

Psycho

1960 USA

It's perfect.

Grizzly Man

2005 USA

Amazing footage of a demented, damaged but fascinating character.

La Jetée

1962 France

Unsurpassed, terse study of time looping around itself.

JIM SHVANTE - SVANETIS MARILI

1930 USSR

A pinnacle of delirious cinema

Land without Bread

1933 Spain

The classic 'ironic' doc that isn't what it appears to be. Surreal to the core.
