5º – The Mirror (Andrei Tarkovsky, 1975)
A man in his last days of life remembers landmark events of his childhood, his mother and striking facts of his journey in the world. The film suffers from time lapses throughout its projection, varying between different periods of the character’s life. Russian film masterpiece by Andrei Tarkovsky.
4º – 3 Women (Robert Altman, 1977)
A naive young woman from a small town in the United States has the chance to build her life in California. Instead, the young woman, shrouded in the reality of her new job, will meet another young woman, this more mature and with a deviant behavior, developing a strange relationship of friendship with her. Irretrievable, ‘3 Women’ is a film that has a burning atmosphere that is an active part of the plot, contrasting well all the inconsistencies found in the two central characters. Another fact that still elevates the film to the nickname of masterpiece is the breaking of that strange drama that we have in its final stretch, becoming a psychological terror that will certainly scare you more than many films characteristic of the horror genre. Shelley Duvall’s unforgettable performance in one of the characters and, of course, the great prominence of the whole work, the unique presence of Sissy Spacek playing the other central persona in history, achieving the greatest performance of his brilliant career and one of the most striking in cinema in the 1970s, are still worth mentioning. Finally, a masterpiece by director Robert Altman.
