The best 3 of May

After watching movies for another month, some great, some a bit crappy, but overall, totally amazing, it's time to choose the top 3 of films you must-see. All three of these films I will remember as beautiful experiences. They all are great pieces of cinema and tackle very different subjects. These three really reflect my love for cinema. May definitely was a good month, being very diverse and seeing some films from directors that can be considered true artists.

1. The Fountain

A highly remarkable experience, a great mind fuck. This really is one the most amazing films I've seen in a long time. The way it sticks long after you've watched it is brilliant. It really lingers on and makes you think of your life and life itself. Totally extraordinary and like nothing Ive seen before. All praise for Darren Aronofsky.

2. Anche Libero Va Bene

A great drama about a family coping with the absence of a mother. Wonderfully acted by both the parents as the kids. Very moving, showing characters with great feeling and depth. A tremendous debut of actor and first time director Kim Rossi Stuart.

3. Bin-Jip

Highly original. A beautiful story of two characters that don't speak, but just love. A very different film, but in a very good way.
Romantic and dreamy. A great piece of storytelling. Kim Ki-Duk has great talent. I definitely have to see more of his films.
