Filmjahresrückblick 2010: Die Top Ten

All of life's riddles are answered in the movies.
( Steve Martin)

Two more days, then also the first year in the second decade of the 21st Century rum. And so Symparanekronemoi is now in its fifth year, with the traditional film Year in Review as a statutory post in a sum of its rather weak film year. This can also be in my personal consummation examine, was wearing my film in 2010 with 116 films, including both lower than the previous year (134 movies) as well as that of 2008 (120 films). The whole thing is really clear in the admissions that are (not taken into confirmatory sightings) this year only 57 plays and passes that fell compared to 2008 by almost 50 percent. So it was that I this year, more movies, because seen in the cinema I (59 DVD sightings).

Another clue to the qualitative decline in the cinematic landscape is found in the fact that out of my 57 visits to the cinema at least 28 sightings went to press screenings, which makes for a percentage evaluation of 49 percent every other film and a higher value corresponds than in previous years (2008: 48.6% 2009: 43.3%). My personal tendency was thus away from venture into the unknown (which was then rescheduled at no additional cost on DVD) and towards the second viewing of movies, what happened in the cinema at least five plants. This could either appeal found that her new theatrical release is justified or how Inception in the best Indiana Jones-style simply deserves a second chance (and playful in this case).

Where Inception failed with me, he liked elsewhere. Even if he was pushed to the finish line yet from the platform of the three most profitable Film 2010. The first two places to take this Toy Story 3 and Alice in Wonderland one with more than one billion U.S. dollar box office. A brand that surely the third-placed Harry Potter and The Deathly Hallows: Part I would have achieved would be the 3-D conversion As with the colleagues have been able in time. A small consolation for Christopher Nolan and his Dream Catcher: Inception advanced in Switzerland and in Denmark and Sweden the most successful movie of the year. And even at the Internet Movie Database (IMDb) is the 'blockbuster art-house cinema with 8.9/10 the top position this year.

sealing was followed Nolan's acclaimed masterpiece this year's winner of that very Toy Story 3 (8.7/10), with a severed The Social Network (8.1/10) and second losers (as of: 29.12.2010). His triumph owed to the Pixar fun especially the English-speaking nations of the former British Empire, Toy Story 3 was still in the U.S. and the UK (where he played twice as much a like Inception ) and Australia, plus Spain's undisputed number one. And this year was the battle Pixar-DreamWorks in a new round. Countries such as Poland, Portugal and Russia consumed rather Shrek Forever After , who landed in Brazil, too, before Pixar. This does not mean that he was the favorite at Sugarloaf.

Rather, Brazil is one of the countries that saw the best natural product. Here was Tropa de Elite 2 the rage this year, you looked also in New Zealand ( Boy ), South Korea ( This Man ), Japan ( Kari-gurashi no Arietti ), Czech Republic ( Ženy v pokušení ), Turkey (New Yorkta Minare 5), Norway ( Knerten gifter seg ), Finland ( Napapiirin Sankarit ) and France (Les petits mouchoirs ) no more than a national film production. The Canadians followed the other hand Alice in Wonderland , which in Italy was also very good (2nd place), but after all only half as much as earned annual winners Avatar . And like so many separate German and Dutch too, it united them in 2010 their shared passion for Harry Potter 7.1 , who was in both countries at the top.

most successful German film was the way Markus Goller Friendship! , who landed in this country after all, in 12th place with about a half million visitors. The nearly nine times more could attract more than the very successful 13 Semester , but what does one expect from an audience with the Eclipse and Inception a neck-and-neck race delivered? Goller is the winner of the German film jumping internationally different winners in the eye. Tim Burton, for example, the Alice in Wonderland became his biggest financial success. Or Gemma Arterton, who appeared in four films in 2010 that brought together nearly 850 million U.S. dollars. Above all, however, probably Christopher Nolan, who should now finally enjoy free rein.

was really impressive, however, the English actor Christian McKay, whose portrayal of the incomparable film legend Orson Welles Richard Linklater's Me and Orson Welles outstanding precipitated. McKay sometimes merges with the great man such that you believe to see it happening. On female side was the play of the 69-year-old South Korean Kim Hye-ja in Bong Joon-ho's Madeo in memory and even stole past Greta Gerwig's refreshing performance in Greenberg . The best newcomer is probably Bethany Whitmore, which can be heard in Mary and Max Admittedly only, but it still presented some colleagues in the shade. As for the TV landscape, ran Dexter its competition this year, which with seven-league boots.

Otherwise, 2010 in memory as the year of the bad 3-D. on Quentin Tarantino returns the quote: "This CGI bullshit is the death knell of cinema. If I'd wanted all that computer game bullshit, I'd have stuck my dick in a Nintendo. " What is given all the bad 3-D conversions of Alice in Wonderland to the meltdown Clash of the Titans and in respect of some use of special effects (for example, in Black Swan ) can be so . Otherwise it was in the agonizing and almost entirely uneventful, without significant highlights - and 2011 promises to be no better. On that note: Here are my best while ten films of the year, the Ten flop (this time as a link list), as usual in the comments:

10th Mary and Max (Adam Elliot, AUS 2009) : In his debut feature film tells a touching story of Adam Elliot friendship, loneliness, outsiders and death. The letter friendship between a New Yorker who suffered from Asperger's and an Australian girl is determined by many tragic-comic moments. The amazing idea and convincing implementation compensate the best animated film of the year, some redundancy and substantive shortcomings.

9th I Love You Phillip Morris (Glenn Ficarra and John Requa, F / USA 2009) : Even Glenn Ficarra and John Requa end up with her debut film directly in this year's rankings. Their tragic love story about two gay prisoners precipitated by their sincerity and the excellent Darstellerduo to Jim Carrey and Ewan McGregor. The next bit short, but extremely entertaining prison outbreaks make the movie and the story of his protagonist to remember.

8th An Education (Lone Scherfig, GB / USA 2009) : pop writer Nick Hornby in wonderful '60s equipment told with subtle social criticism and attractive ensemble of love and life history of a 16-year-olds, the advances of an elderly ne'er-do and the culture forfeited. Lone Scherfig credibly staged and compelling game of Carey Mulligan, Alfred Molina joke alive, is the coming-of-age drama and period piece only be hasty end in your way.

7th A Prophet (Jacques Audiard, F / I 2009) : With L'ennemi public n ° 1 submitted the French in the previous year, two overrated gangster films. And with A Prophet the Paris director Jacques Audiard moved at the beginning of the year following the same. His prison drama mixes elements of the classic Mafia film with Akira Kurosawa's Yojimbo and the HBO series Oz . While this does not proceed without some vulnerability, but in principle Audiard presented very successful and addictive genre cinema.

6th The End of the Line (Rupert Murray, GB 2009) : For 1.2 billion people fish the main ingredient their diet. According to experts, our seas, however, could be fished out at the current level in sixty years. The debt bearing in mind the acting irresponsible politicians and we ourselves succeed Rupert Murray an important but daunting inventory, as well as a wake up call, which should make every episode before it's too late for change, perhaps.

5th A Single Man (Tom Ford, USA 2009) : In Tom Ford's debut film is the director may be the worst, but not so bad. For this distinguished addition to the ensemble cast, the soundtrack and the costumes especially the impressive writer of whose lines often seem like poetry, with wonderfully subtle and philosophical interference and reflections about life. Overall A Single Man is a film that does little wrong and is one of the most honest contributions this year.

4th Exit Through the Gift Shop (Banksy, GB 2010) : A mockumentary in which Banksy staged brilliantly by Mise en abyme itself. His debut film draws from the fact that he did not fail to deliver authentic insights into the street scene and at the same time as a narrative and rigorous Total package sold. This film owes it primarily to play by Thierry Guetta, that the illusion that there could be a documentation is maintained.

third Sin Nombre (Cary Fukunaga, MEX / USA 2009) : Half a million people migrate illegally every year in the U.S., three quarters of them from Mexico and Latin American countries. In his debut film Sin Nombre manages the immigrant child Cary Fukunaga able to link a Border-Crossing-story with an intensive course drama. A visually stunning scenery and beautiful images support with credible young actors this haunting story.

second Food Inc. (Robert Kenner, USA 2008) : You are what you eat - especially in the U.S., where one in three people is obese. Debt, the lobbying and corruption permeated by national food system. Robert Kenner followed in his documentation of the way U.S. food company and shows shocking images of legalized cruelty to animals, prepare not only for the abused animals care, but ultimately for the health of their consumers.

first Autumn Gold (Jan Tenhaven, D / A 2010) : Over a year accompanied by an illustrious Jan Tenhaven small group of quite active athletes, the one grown by this document as their own grandparents to my heart. This Autumn Gold is not a sports movie, but a manifesto of five people who are bursting with vitality and thus defy the gloomy existence pensioners and death. Ultimately Tenhaven managed to an exceptional and extraordinary film.
