Top Musical of 2013

"One Chance" (David Frankel, UK)

Gravity (2013) *****

One of the best science-fiction films of all times, a tense and hyperrealistic story of an astronaut woman (Sandra Bullock) stranded in space and forced to make her way home. Unique and unforgettable.

Wetlands (2013) *****

La Vie d'Adèle (2013) *****

La Grande Bellezza (2013) *****

A great masterpiece of Italian cinema, a worthy companion piece to "La Dolce Vita". Rome has never looked better.

Prisoners (2013) ****

Superb thriller in the mold of "The Silence Of The Lambs".

Nebraska (2013) ****

Another excellent film from Alexander Payne, sublime from start to finish.

Frozen (2013) ****

A very cold Disney animated pic. Songs:

"Let It Go"
