This is a dynamic list, so it’ll be updated each time I see a film which had its world premiere in 2001 that is better than at least one of the films already on the list.
- The Swamp (Lucrecia Martel)
- Mulholland Dr. (David Lynch)
- A.I.: Artificial Intelligence (Steven Spielberg)
- Where Lies Your Hidden Smile? (Pedro Costa)
- The Piano Teacher (Michael Haneke)
- Hedwig and the Angry Inch (John Cameron Mitchell)
- The Man Who Wasn’t There (Joel & Ethan Coen)
- The Royal Tenenbaums (Wes Anderson)
- Y tu mamá también (Alfonso Cuarón)
- En construcción (José Luis Guérin)
-
Eclectic list. Mine would include (in order): The Man Who Wasn’t There, Mulholland Drive, Memento, The Royal Tenenbaums, The Claim, Made, Chopper, Eureka, Brother, Ali.
-
no Martel? I still have to see Man Who Wasn’t There and Chopper.
