Embrace of the Serpent. Ciro Guerra. Paterson. Jim Jarmusch. A rotten year, but not for cinema. That films as imaginative as that spare portrait of an awkward young black girl, The Fits, or Barry Jenkinss moody depiction of a black gay outsider, Moonlight, or Natalie Portmans searing portrayal of JFKs first lady, Jackie, dont make my five indicates how strong it was. Also of note was Manchester by the Sea, a blue collar high tragedy with wrenching performances that weigh the balance so carefully between the push and pull of guilt and responsibility that the film is emotionally exhausting. Fire at Sea found a fresh way of viewing the immigrants risking their lives in lethal boats on the Mediterranean. Paterson was just the most soulful, quiet local neighbourhood pleasure at Cannes and Toni Erdmann the most outlandishly unforeseen comedy of manners. Elle is a watershed film, the most involving psychological thriller in years, and Embrace of the Serpent felt like a rethinking of so much adventure cinema from the last half century.

A trip into the Thai subconscious and a disfigured, decaying body politic, couched in an atmosphere of tranquil unrest. It comes off like some mesmerising, serenely disruptive sci fi. Mimosas. Oliver Laxe. The breakout film from the Galician scene is a shamanistic ride into the Moroccan mountains and desert, and more than fulfils the promise of You Are All Captains. Its beautiful, strange, unclassifiable Laxe will surely be one of the great directors of the next few decades. Son of Joseph Le Fils de Joseph Eugne Green. A meditation on fatherhood and family filtered through the Bible and Baroque civilisation, with satirical detours into up its own Parisian literary culture. Another brilliant one off from the sublime Eugne Green. Elle. Paul Verhoeven. Isabelle Hupperts is the performance of the year, and possibly a career best. Improbably, Paul Verhoeven just gets better and better, here channelling the spirit of Fritz Lang into a contemporary allegory on unredeemable male monsters and their overcoming. Staying Vertical Rester Vertical Alain Guiraudie. Wilder and freer than the more classical Stranger by the Lake, the film literally reinvents itself from scene to scene, and yet somehow feels all of a piece. Brilliantly, blackly comic. Special mention to Slack Bay a brilliantly achieved creation of a unique universe, melding different types of comedy black, grotesque, farce, burlesque, comic book, expressionist in service of a savage social satire.

Finally, after my first three choices which absolutely had to be in, I reluctantly left out 2. Fire at Sea could have been replaced by I, Daniel Blake, The Unknown Girl, Toni Erdmann, Hissein Habr A Chadian Tragedy or various other films dealing powerfully with the politics of our troubled world. Things to Come could have been replaced by Elle Huppert is surely the greatest actress of our age. And I felt especially bad about not being able to include fine new works by Radu Jude, Whit Stillman, Bertrand Tavernier, Asli Ozge and Jos Luis Guern, not to mention a second film Gimme Danger by Jim Jarmusch. Since an allocation of ten wouldnt have been enough, five was excruciatingly insufficient. The highlight of my year was probably the London Film Festivals Archive Gala screening of Arthur Robisons The Informer a meticulous BFI restoration of one of the best British films made at the end of the silent era, with a truly superb live performance of an unusually audacious, subtle, detailed and evocative new score for sextet by virtuoso violist and composer Garth Knox. Both cinematically and musically, it was a marvellous evening. Sadly, however, the years most memorable event was the shocking, perhaps wholly avoidable death of Abbas Kiarostami, for me and many others the greatest artist working in film over the last few decades. What a terrible loss to cinema. Corrina Antrobus. Programmer Bechdel Test Fest, UKMoonlight. Barry Jenkins. Mustang. Deniz Gamze Ergven. American Honey. Andrea Arnold. Certain Women. Kelly Reichardt. The Handmaiden. Park Chan wook. Its been a bleak year. Political tensions have ruptured the faith of liberals and strengthened toxic extremist views. Never before has the tonic of cinema been so necessary. This list of elongated movies many nudging the three hour notch has a silky thread of exquisite indulgence interesting to notice that many of my choices are road movies featuring an reckless escape plan. With their far flung narratives and acute, complex character portraits they provide respite from the social unrest. Aside from haute escapism, they offer solace to those weary of the straight white male norm. Certain Women in particular deeply understands the labour and expectations of women, and Moonlight softly confronts the pressures on black gay men. All are a feathered lash at the patriarchy, daring us to hope and reminding us to look to art in times of turmoil. Michael Atkinson. Critic, USACemetery of Splendour. Apichatpong Weerasethakul.

As always, the early delivery of this list leaves many candidates unscreened that, plus filing it the morning after the US entered its initial stages as a fascist nation does not cast a happy glow on the proceedings. Insofar as the context of my choices matter, here are my runners up, in order Fireworks Wednesday, Cameraperson, Moonlight, The Witch, High Rise, Dheepan, Aferim Mountains May Depart. Miriam Bale.
