Sight & Sound List 2022

LENS ME YOUR EARS

This week Carsten & Stephen scroll through the new Sight & Sound list of the top 100 films of all time, which stirred up the cineaste stew by unseating champions like Vertigo and Citizen Kane with Chantal Akerman's study in domestic intensity, Jeanne Dielman, 23 Quai du Commerce, 1080 Bruxelles. This show takes a look at the two Akerman titles that appear on the list, including her documentary News From Home, plus titles that have as yet escaped their gaze like Claire Denis's Beau Travail; Roberto Rossellini's Journey to Italy; a landmark of African cinema, Touki Bouki; and a return to the realm of Iranian cinema with Abbas Kiarostami's Close-Up.
