4º – Dodes’ka-den (Akira Kurosawa, 1970)
We will follow the difficult daily lives of several residents of a poor neighborhood in Tokyo, understanding about their ways of simply surviving. Belonging to the cinema of the legendary Akira Kurosawa, nurturing an experimental aura, ‘Dodes’ka-den’ works solely by unraveling these random lives of characters, gaining all their dynamicity by bringing sad and suffering stories. Although very sad, the film is worth being seen by not skimping the viewer, making explicit all the rustic nuances of our existence.
3º – Alice Doesn’t Live Here Anymore (Martin Scorsese, 1974)
A widow crosses the country with her young son looking for a place to live. Pearl hidden in Martin Scorsese’s filmography, ‘Alice Doesn’t Live Here Anymore’ is a sweet movie in its onslaught, managing to use its 112-minute length to build a concise drama about the concept of perseverance contained in the human being.
2º – Amour (Michael Haneke, 2012)
After his wife gets sick, an elderly man will have to adapt to a new reality in his life, as well as accept the approaching death figure. Austrian master Michael Haneke, this work, rustic like the entire filmography of the director, transposes to the viewer the inseparable events of life.
1º – Three Colors: Blue (Krzysztof Kieslowski, 1993)
After suffering an auto accident and losing her young daughter and husband, a woman will have to overcome her mourning and rebuild her life. ‘Three Colors: Blue’ is a difficult, conceptually heavy film, exposing how the figure of mourning can be weighed on an individual. Krzysztof Kieslowski’s masterpiece.
