Olivier Assayas's Top 10 Films (for Sight + Sound, 2002)

"I did it instinctively, putting down the names as they came to me, then boiling them down to ten, making cabbalistic adjustments I couldn’t begin to explain, let alone justify. The embarrassing result is that there isn’t a single American film even though I’ve seen more American movies I’ve admired than I can remember, and there isn’t a single Asian film even though I consider Mizoguchi, Ozu and Hou Hsiao-hsien to be among the greatest film-makers of any time in any culture."
