Low's Canon
By: Low
Limite (Mario Peixoto, 1931)
I’ve tried to create a top 100 list for another film site, but since it’s very hard I’m posting a top 150 instead, or at least trying to. Not as bold perhaps, but why restrict it to just 100 films?
The list is presented chronological, because I felt it was impossible in any other way. Fritz Lang’s Die Nibelungen consists of both movies, Stan Brakhage’s Dog Star Man is the whole cycle and Lars von Triers Riget is the complete original season from 1994.
Missing on mubi:
Uppehåll i myrlandet (Jan Troell, 1965)
Mountaineer Spinning (Ken Jacobs, 2004)
Double Suicide (Masahiro Shinoda, 1969)
Trees of Syntax, Leaves of Axis (Daïchi Saïto, 2009)
