The Dying Swan (Evgenii Bauer, 1916)

Merantau (Gareth Evans, 2009)

Floating Life (Clara Law, 1996)

one of the greatest australian films ever made, searching for place, family and identity in a liminal diasporic space that may seem never really this country, but is completely.

Water (Deepa Mehta, 2005)

i have to ask: why go to the past for this, especially with the fact and figure postscript it gives?

City of God (Fernando Meirelles and Kátia Lund, 2002)

time, experience and shifting want from film lessening its impact years down the line. and in some ways problematising it. but it is what it is.

Linda Linda Linda (Yamashita Nobuhiro, 2005)

this is my favourite movie.

Suzhou River (Lou Ye, 2000)

Tabu (Miguel Gomes, 2012)
