Regardless, after six months of absence, they reformed, some of the writers came back, others left for good, and they managed to even squeeze in their annual tradition of producing the most eclectic top 10 around. This year’s Cahiers list of the best films of 2021 is topped by Kelly Reichardt’s “First Cow.” Notice how the two French films that won Cannes (“Titane”) and Venice (“Happening”) are absent. Of course, given the French nature of the publication, a whopping six films from the Cannes Film Festival made the list including the likes of Verhoeven, Dumont, Carax and Weerasethakul. The only film I have not seen from their top ten is Guillaume Brac’s “A L’abordage” which just shot up on my must-see list for the year. It currently has no release date, but the studio behind it were gracious enough to offer me a private link which I will watch tonight.
