Not content to simply issue a critical roundup of the year’s 20 best films, Film Comment’s latest issue is filled with must-read cinematic trivia that should make any list-lover’s heart flutter. Get a complete look at the making of the final cut for the magazine’s famous critic’s poll 2008, including which Film Comment staffer has a soft spot for Kazakhstan, plus incisive commentary on the “movies that mattered, for better or for worse.”
This latest issue of Film Comment also boasts a new feature, the Film Comment Trivial Top 20, which is a fresh, film-related list devised and selected by the finest minds in the cinephile universe. In this issue: the 20 best acting performances by directors in fellow helmer’s films. So is it Quentin Tarantino? Sydney Pollack? Roman Polanski? Check out page 11 of the Jan/Feb issue for the answer!
It’s not all just lists, either. In the issue, you can read an interview with James Toback by Quentin Tarantino, a cover story on The Curious Case of Benjamin Button by Amy Taubin, a look at the surprisingly fascinating (and critic’s poll hit) avant-garde film RR, plus a piece that begins with this priceless sentence: “Why was practically everyone expecting Valkyrie to suck?” Exhaustive reviews of the latest DVD and theatrical releases are included as always.
