Comments

This list is to say: the Sunrise, the Genesis, the Apocalypse, the Word, the Evangiles, Life itself, The Old World, The New World, the Sunset, the Cinema. And some personal intentions: the idea of combining some historical monuments with films that will hardly enter the [overall] list yet that are key to me; and the need to put two Godards in the list: the greatest 20th-century artist along with Matisse.
