Thanks Sight and Sound, for notifying me that you are not worth paying attention to anymore.

Let's be honest here. A bunch of people probably took a look at their list and decided to replace Chinatown with a film directed by a female for, um... reasons.

I understand the desire to put more female directed movies on the list, but do we only care about female directors and not there other roles? If you are using this logic how is Raging Bull not on the list? Thelma Schoonmaker's editing in this movie is arguably the greatest ever.

I have never even considered what gender the director of a film was, what does it ultimately matter? Putting such a focus on that these directors were women seems to me like they don't expect women to have as much the ability to create a great film as men, so they have to highlight it every time it happens, and that is why i find this decades list so counteractive to their point.

A list like this tells you (almost) nothing about the relative quality of the films included (and excluded - no Bunuel? Really?) but everything about fashions in criticism, something that only critics care about. People who love to watch films rather than pontificate about them know better; they aren't making many "significant changes" in the ways they're watching and appreciating films, thank goodness.

Why is sam peckinpah amongst Polanski and Griffith as far as their 'controversial' nature is concerned?I dont understand the comparison between a convicted child molester and the director of one of the most racist films in history to peckinpah.I hope you could elaborate on that.Its certainly unfair to the latter.

What a self-satisfied self-congratulatory little video.

In the mood for love is the best one out of all of these top 10

A film being christened the 'greatest film of all time,' isn't just about being a good film; it is also about how much of Cinema it has influenced. Jeanne Dielman may be a good film, but it has not influenced a thousandth of the films that Vertigo and Citzien Kane have, and it also just goes to show how much the opinions of critics have deteriorated in the last 10 years when compared to the cultural zeitgeist.

Citizen Kane still remains the Mona Lisa of serious cinema. Mr Bernstein told us a lot more in his short scene about the girl with the white parasol than Jeanne Deilman did in all her three hours of experimental art tedium.

I would've liked an analysis on why those "newly added films" are great and deserve their position. Btw I'm not suggesting that they don't deserve it, but i would've liked to hear something other than the number of movies directed by women, queer people, etc that have been added.

Those foreign films that were 'introduced' to the list in 2012 had been on the list
|
For 2032, I hope to see the films of Doris Wishman and Roberta Findlay on the list.

'Citizen Kane' represented a dominant, capitalist, patriarchal ideology?! 😂 Orson Welles was routinely called a 'pinko', and this film was shunned by everyone especially because of William Randolph Hearst and his machinery. Case in point, it did not top the list in 1952.
I can understand if something like 'The Godfather' brought on this kind of a comment, because, while it claims to comment on capitalism in USA, it also celebrates the mob lifestyle especially in terms of its 'family' values, and is often an influence on and inspiration for patriarchal men.
'Citizen Kane' literally caricatures a rich White guy, and no one (except Donald Trump) actually got inspired by Kane.
This video reeks of BS, of course... When the need to enforce our own ideology on everything takes front seat, common sense is pushed down the drain.
Maya Deren, Vera Chytilova and Agnieszka Holland (her masterpiece 'Angry Harvest' is not even in the Top 100) are exceptional directors. So is Leni Reifenstahl, who of course, won't get included here even for her 'Olympia'. These are great filmmakers who happen to be women. Their films need not be put in the same bracket as the arbitrary 'films by female directors' to push a certain narrative and be spoken along with lesser films just because they were made by women.
Akira Kurosawa, Kenji Mizoguchi, Yazujiro Ozu, Hiroshi Teshigahara, Satyajit Ray, Ritwik Ghatak, Wong Kar Wai, Spike Lee, Zhang Yimo, Abbas Kiarostami, Majid Majidi, etc. have been celebrated for decades, and it is silly to bunch them along with 'directors of colour' just to suit our narrative, and say their films and something like 'Get Out' are on the same level.
Also, when we are talking about gender fluidity and multiple genders, the phrase 'male eye' is toxic in and of itself. Is the first 'Matrix' a product of male eyes, while the 4th part is the product of female eyes, even though they were directed by the same people?
Do all men look at something the same way? Are the 'eyes' of Rainer Werner Fassbinder and John Ford interchangeable?
By the way, all of this (unfortunately) is only about the list made by 'critics'. And by and large, the list is not that different, except for the fact that it looks like they have shoved in some films just to fulfill some sort of a quota.
The directors' list seems more authentic. And in my mind, that is better.
I have no issues if someone has a list of 10 films which are only romantic comedies made by Nora Ephron and Nancy Myers. Or fratboy comedies directed by Kevin Smith and Judd Appatow. As long as that is what they appreciate, that is what they should list. (You don't need to include 'Citizen Kane' if you don't like it.) But it is useful if people are authentic to their own tastes, rather than try to serve some narrative they want to push.

Pauline Kael said Citizen Kane was more fun to watch than any great film has a right to be.
No danger of 2022's winner being accused of that!

An insanely smug summing up. Must be you be so pleased with yourself, Sight and Sound?

This was a great explanation to show all my non-movie friends (who are down for it, and have little knowledge). Thank you for this, and brava!!

If you tell all selectors they must pick one female directed picture (due to equal opportunities), and they all pick the same film, then it will win the poll, it doesn't mean it is the greatest film made, its the most selected.

in my eyes Citizen Kane did not celebrate capitalist society, it showed how shallow and illusionary it is.

do the alleged cinephiles in the comment section not know how the list is compiled? this is not based on the opinions of the editors of sight & sound, but rather on about 1600 critics, who were asked to list their 10 favorite films. of course, if about half of those critics were female (which they probably weren't in prior polls), i guess a high percentage of them had jeanne dielman in their top 10s because of its political relevance today. i suppose lots and lots of the male critics also picked it for the same reason. that is, however, not to say that all of these critics considered it the #1 greatest film of all time. to be honest, i think quite few of them did... it's likely only 10% of them, just like with all the ones that picked kane or vertigo the prior years. when you look at the rankings of the list, it reflects the critical popularity of the films more than anything. anyway, i think people should just ignore critics and only regard the director's poll, because the rankings on that one appeal a lot more to me personally. 2001 is in many ways the most perfect film ever made (even though it is not my personal favorite), and persona and mirror are now in their rightful place alongside vertigo, 8½ and tokyo story - not forgetting the eternally classic citizen kane and the godfather. of the newer picks, i get close-up because of how uniquely and miraculously it stands out in the modern canon, but i don't think i can get behind in the mood for love. if a newer film had to replace it, my vote would definitely be on satantango, werckmeister harmoniak, a brighter summer day, yi yi or maybe mulholland drive. bela tarr and edward yang definitely need their masterpieces higher on the list!
