Surely not all they should, but these are the ten international films selected by the editorial staff of El Confidencial Culture as the most representative of this 2013. No rankings or numbers, just a list of titles essential to understand a film year.
Works of author, blockbusters, great directors and great discoveries. Everyone has their place in this review to the best of those films that have been released in theaters in the last twelve months.
'Love' by Michael Haneke
The Austrian is one of the personalities of 2013, mainly for hoarding all the existing awards: Oscar, Palma de Oro in Cannes, Prince of Asturias. His last film is a piece of life shown without tricks, Unadorned, so real it even gets to hurt.
Darkest Night
The story of the woman who organized the mission to hunt Bin Laden seems the perfect metaphor for her director's career. An exception in a world of men. The only Oscar winner as a director once again demonstrates that she handles the action like nobody else.
'The Master' by Paul Thomas Anderson
With only four films Anderson has become one of America's most personal and unclassifiable directors. With 'The master' he baffled everyone with his vision of a religion with many similarities to Scientology and a devastating portrait of the United States after World War II
'Django Unchained' by Quentin Tarantino
Also pointed to the issue of slavery, but of course with his revisionist look and full of bad milk. Here the subject is treated with all the irony and frenetic sense of rhythm that can be asked of the director of 'Pulp fiction'
'Taboo', by Miguel Gomes
At the Berlin Festival of 2012 a name was aupó above all. The one of a Portuguese until then unknown who got the prize FIPRESCI and a hole in the memory of every movie buff thanks to 'Taboo'.
'Spring Breakers' by Harmony Korine
One of the cult films of this 2013. With so many defenders and detractors, but certainly a film that has given to speak for its casting full of old Disney Club princesses or the interpretation of a James Last Friday. A sour look at the American dream.
'Gravity' by Alfonso Cuarón
Another favorite at the Oscars. After that film that was 'Children of the men', Cuarón has measured very well his next step. So, after several years of waiting, he brought ‘Gravity ‘, or how to generate tension for ninety minutes, look like director and make Sandra Bullock do the best part of his career.
Drew Goddard's “Cabin in the Woods"
Who would have said that the creator of "The Avengers" would write one of the most original and risky scripts of the year? Josh Weddon is the thinking mind of this project that came to Spain with more than a year of delay and that is the confirmation that in the terror is not all said, even a stroke of tribute-parody
Paolo Sorrentino's 'The Great Beauty'
Disconcerted at the Cannes Film Festival, where he left empty, but gradually the last film of Sorrentino has been conquering criticism and public becoming one of the cult films of the year. Best European film of the year, this update of 'La dolce vita' also wants the Oscar for the best non-English film
'12 Years of Slavery ', by Steve McQueen’s
Confirmation as a cult filmmaker came with his more academic and American work. After epithetizing the film buffs around the world with 'Shame' and 'Hunger' brought the most resounding film about slavery that is remembered. Hollywood wants to stay with McQueen, and surely the Oscars will remember him soon.
