We pick the films, and the films pick us. We asses them, and they asses us in return. The merit in picking all-time greats is in the fact that it tells about who we are, or who want to be. In order to reveal a bit more about that identity inherent to a selection like this, I would like to add to two further titles to this list: Brick and Mirror (Ebrahim Golestan, 1964) and Closeup (Abbas Kiarostami, 1990). Furthermore, these picks reveal only about what I am today and now. Not knowing what the next moment will bring, I wonder what ten years' time will.
