Video: The Guardian's 10 Most Successful Movies of 2020
2024 Author: Richard Flannagan | [email protected]. Last modified: 2023-12-15 23:55
2020 was not the best year for world cinema. Filming was postponed, premieres were postponed indefinitely, cinemas were idle, and film studios suffered colossal losses. At the same time, people's demand for high-quality films only increased. The British publishing house The Guardian has compiled a list of 50 films that have been successful in the UK. In our today's review, we are getting acquainted with the top ten of this list.
"Parasites", released: 2019, country: South Korea, director: Bong Joon-ho
The first place is taken by a South Korean thriller with elements of drama and comedy. The film Bong Joon-ho won four Oscars at once: for Best Film, Directing, Screenplay and Best Foreign Language Film. The Guardian calls "Parasites" exhilarating, scary, dramatic and eloquent at the same time.
Soul, release date: 2020, country: USA, directors: Pete Docter, Kemp Powers
Jamie Foxx voiced the main character in this animated Pixar film. Soul director Pete Docter brought Pixar back to the emotionally intelligent cinema that has always been its hallmark.
"Pardon", released: 2019, country: Romania, Luxembourg, director: Chinonye Chukwu
Few recent films can boast of their significance. The drama Chinonye Chukwu explores the US system of execution of sentences and makes it possible to empathize even with those who are justly sentenced.
"Team", release date: 2019, country: Romania, Luxembourg, director: Alexander Nanau
The controversial documentary is a journalistic investigation of hospital deaths following a nightclub fire in 2015. As it turned out, it was not the burns that were to blame for the deaths, but the corruption in the healthcare system.
"Portrait of a Girl on Fire," Released: 2019, Country: France, Director: Celine Syamma
A romantic story about the origin of feelings between an artist and an aristocrat whose portrait needed to be painted. For modern realities, the plot is nothing special, but the action of the film takes place in the 18th century.
Rocks, Released: 2019, Country: UK, Director: Sarah Gavron
An absolutely amazing film about the relationship of children. Bukki Bakrai, who plays the main character, gives the viewer an opportunity to understand the feelings of a teenager who must take care of his brother when their mother, raising her sons alone, is unable to do so.
Holy Maud, release date: 2019, country: UK, director: Rose Glass
A chilling horror drama directed by Rose Glass, in which Morfidd Clark plays a palliative care nurse caring for a former dancer, played by Jennifer Ehle. Maud's religious aspirations end up in a very strange and even terrifying development.
"The Assistant", Released: 2019, Country: USA, Director: Kitty Green
Harvey Weinstein's horrors and revelations, as well as MeToo's flood of workplace sexual abuse, harassment and misogyny he unleashed, are now entrenched in the public eye, and this scandal comes as no surprise. But scriptwriter and director Kitty Green's film turns Weinstein's story into one of the most gripping and disturbing films of the year.
Munk, Released: 2020, Country: USA, Director: David Fincher
Munk by David Fincher can rightfully be called a study of the personality of the person behind the cult film Citizen Kane. A beautifully polished film that is, first and foremost, a tribute to the golden era of Hollywood.
Never, Rarely, Sometimes, Always, Released: 2020, Country: USA, UK, Director: Eliza Hittman
The Guardian calls Eliza Hittman one of the most powerful films of the year. It tells the story of two 17-year-old girls who went on a dangerous journey in order to have an abortion. The film was shot as if in opposition to the anti-abortion movement in the United States.
The science fiction genre is one of the most popular in cinematography. And not surprising, because it is so interesting to plunge into the world created by the scriptwriter's fantasy and see what our reality could be, turn out life on Earth a little differently.
