Once again, it's time for me to compose my top ten best films in 2010.
During the entire calendar year of 2010, I watched 215 feature films. I was planning to watch 20% less films compared to the 208 feature films in 2009, but accidently, I watched more instead. Ops.
Again, my top ten films are selected from the films I saw in 2010, not based on when they are released in the theaters. Why? Because this seems the best way to define "a film in 2010." We are living in a small world now. If I fly to Beijing or New York to see a film that has not opened in San Francisco, does this film belongs to 2010 or 2011? Why should a film's year be based on the US release date?
Enough said.
Therefore, "Mother" (마더) is on my Top Ten Film in 2009, while it appears on many critics' top ten lists for 2010.
So, these are the top ten best films I saw in 2010.
