In 1952, the Sight and Sound team had the novel idea of asking critics to name the greatest films of all time. The tradition became decennial, increasing in size and prestige as the decades passed.

Everyone's free to like what they like obviously, but "Jeanne Dielman, 23 Quai du Commerce, 1080 Bruxelles" would also be at the top of a parody of this kind of list.

Exactly! 🤣

I'm not sorry I watched it. And I eventually came to understand what the filmmaker was going for. I'm grateful to at least be able to have a frame of reference when it comes up.

But calling it the "greatest film of all time"...? 😐
