With just days to go until the end of 2011 (Where did the year go???), legendary film critic Roger Eberthas announced his top 20 moviesof the year. Just as you’d expect from Ebert, his list runs the gamut from mainstream blockbusters to more obscure foreign or arthouse projects — with enough in the latter category to offer up some useful suggestions for your Netflix queue. Read his list after the jump.
I’m including the list itself alongside snippets from Ebert’s post below :
1. A Separation — “‘A Separation’ will become one of those enduring masterpieces watched decades from now.”
2. Shame — “Michael Fassbender’s brave, uncompromising performance is at the center of Steve McQueen’s merciless film about sex addiction.”
3. The Tree of Life — “A film of vast ambition and deep humility, attempting no less than to encompass all of existence and view it through the prism of a few infinitesimal lives.”
4. Hugo — “Could anyone but Scorsese have made this subject so magical and enchanting?”
5. Take Shelter — “Director Jeff Nichols builds his suspense carefully.”
6. Kinyarwanda — “[A]n independent film of great emotional impact.”
7. Drive — “‘Drive’ looks like one kind of thriller in the ads, and it is that kind of thriller, but also another and a rebuke to most of the movies it looks like.”
8. Midnight in Paris — “A fabulous daydream for American lit majors.”
9. Le Havre — “Aki Kaurismaki is a Finnish director who makes dour, deadpan comedies about people who shrug their way through misfortune. They have a hypnotic fascination for me.”
10. The Artist — “What audacity to make a silent film in black and white in 2011, and what a film Michel Hazanavicius has made!”
11. Melancholia — “The details matter less than the grand overarching mood.”
