An eclectic top 10 of the master of horror
Surprisingly and tasty, by the way, a film of its selection has never been released in theaters but directly in VOD with us: The Rule of Jenny Pen. The story of a confined judge in an isolated retirement home after being struck by a stroke, having to face a torturers' boarder. This one never separates from Jenny Pen, a doll with which he establishes a reign of sadistic and absolute terror ….
In its top, there is a pure nugget of the genre, the last train for Busan. The infiltrates of Martin Scorsese; A film by Christopher NOLAN (Oppenheimer). Two films by the Coen brothers (O'Brother and No Country for Old Men).
One of the best films by Ridley Scott with the fall of the black hawk, released in 2002. The sons of the man, a huge film by Alfonso Cuaron which was unfortunately a terrible failure in the dining room, before posterity and word of mouth are responsible for largely re-evaluating the film. The superb drama The secret of Brokeback Mountain of Ang Lee is also in his list.
And finally, an absolute wonder. One (many) summit of Clint Eastwood's career: Million Dollar Baby. Irrigated by energy and a magnificent rage of its main interpreter, Hillary Swank, this drama, of an absolutely devastating emotional power, was crowned by four Oscars, including that of the best film and the best actress. In France, this is the second biggest success in Eastwood's career, with more than 3.16 million spectators; A bit behind Gran Torino and its 3.4 million.
