4. 35 Rhums (35 Shots of Rum)


This isn't a film where telling the story or explaining the themes is going to have any impact on why this film is so brilliant. So I won't go down that route, instead I'll say that this is a film made with such expertise that every moment is an untold joy. A film in which everyday life becomes so tender and so transient, the characters so full but yet still unknown. It looks at a type of French life that is rarely seen, a land between the rural and the  cities. A mysterious piece of realism that stays with you.
