Sight & Sound 2022 Rankings
The 2022 Sight & Sound poll has just been released. Widely considered the most prestigious of the millions of movie ranking lists out there, it is the one all others measure themselves against.
The 2022 version contains many welcome developments. It’s been ten years since the last S&S poll and during that time the works of many women directors have gotten the distribution and critical attention they’ve always deserved. Chantal Akerman’s slow moving, slice-of-life film Jeanne Dielman was voted into the top spot.
