Notebook’s 7th Writers Poll: Fantasy Double Features of 2014

In our annual poll, we pair our favorite new films of 2014 with older films seen in the same year to create fantastic double features.

Critics reviews

Kieslowski was one of the great documentary filmmakers well before he directed his first fiction feature. The short works that he made . . . captured ordinary people at extraordinary moments, which were precisely the moments of filming. In a Kieślowski doc, one can feel the filmmaker and his subjects approach each other with rare insight and sympathy, leading to mutually transformative encounters.
