this week on 100 Films

Time again for my monthly TV column this week at 100 Films in a Year...





Other than that, there was just 1 brand-new review this week...


Long Way North (2015)

Regular readers may recall I ranked it among the top movies I saw last year, when I cited the “understated beauty in its deceptively simple visual style”. Indeed, the animation initially seems so plain that it feels like watching a draft animatic, but that conceals its ability to reveal subtleties when needed. In the end, the distinctive look is part of the film’s considerable charm.

Read more here.


More next Sunday.
