Five films I keep returning to

Image: Atmospheric image generated for Elsewhere.

These are the ones I rewatch not to be entertained but to be recalibrated.

  1. 01

    Yi Yi

    Edward Yang

    The film I measure other films against.

  2. 02

    Stalker

    Tarkovsky

    A pilgrimage in slow motion.

  3. 03

    In the Mood for Love

    Wong Kar-wai

    Longing, scored.

  4. 04

    Café Lumière

    Hou Hsiao-hsien

    Tokyo, ordinary and luminous.

  5. 05

    The Turin Horse

    Béla Tarr

    The end of things, beautifully.
