My Time Out New York compadres David Fear and Joshua Rothkopf, in addition to 11 other colleagues and friends (Stephen Garrett, Andrew Grant, Aaron Hillis, Kevin B. Lee, Karina Longworth, Maitland McDonagh, Troy Patterson, Nicolas Rapold, Lisa Rosman, Nick Schager, and S. James Snyder), have just published our picks and blurbs for the top 50 films of the decade. I don’t consider myself a list guy, but it’s in the job description so I went really personal with my choices (different day, different rules, sure to be a different list). I’m happy with how it turned out, and that I got to blurb for Abbas Kiarostami’s Five Dedicated to Ozu and John Gianvito’s The Mad Songs of Fernanda Hussein in particular. Click here to read the feature. I’ve reprinted my ballot submission below.
