Top 10 films of 2012
Callum Madge gives a quick rundown of his favourite films of 2012
Rust & Bone
Jacques Audiard’s charming depiction is a heart wrenching tale of struggle and toil over adversity.
The Master
Exquisitely crafted scenes and superb performances let down by an insubstantial narrative.
The Hunt (Jagten)
Thomas Vinterberg’s haunting character study portrays how quickly reputations can be eroded.
Open Art Surgery
Open Art Surgery pushes the relatively new discipline of Hip Hop Theatre past its conventional parameters.
12 Dancers / Deliberance
An intriguing fusion of ballet, capoeira and break-dancing taken from Sindey Lumet’s 12 Angry Men.
Some Like it Hip Hop
A riotous blend of performance arts including dance, comedy, music, mime and acrobatics.
Stewart Francis: Outstanding in His Field
Francis’ act is a riotous, jaw-aching hour of unadulterated, immature and puerile fun.
Ninja Scroll
Kawajiri’s cult animation raises interesting questions about how one person’s villain is another person’s saviour.
My Shrinking Life
Fascinating, theatrically unusual and culturally important insight into disability.
Holy Motors
Leos Carax’s sublime and totally surreal film raises pertinent questions about the state of humanity.
The Blue Tiger (Modrý Tygr)
Part fairytale, part docu-drama on the folly of mankind’s bloody-minded approach to progression.
Tabu
In his swirl of entrancing cinematic devices, Miguel Gomes is telling us to persevere in living our own life.
The Discreet Charm of the Bourgeoisie
Luis Buñuel’s 1972 Oscar winning surrealist film stabs at the class system and division it creates.
Girimunho (Swirl)
A warm and impassioned call to leave behind our malice and immerse ourselves in today.
