Best Of 2009
By: Steve Norwood
The top few were a tight bunch for me. Some have not released domestically yet, but I’ve never really restricted films for that reason.
Nina Paley’s SITA SINGS THE BLUES, Philip Haas’ BUTCHERS, DRAGONS, GODS & SKELETONS (Dallas Museum of Art film installation) and Henrik Ruben Genz’s TERRIBLY HAPPY were not in The Auteurs’ database, but deserve space on this list.
Happy New Year, Auteurs!
