From “The Lighthouse” to “The Street”: our pick of the year’s best films
The winner of the Palme d’Or at this year’s Cannes film festival, Bong Joon Ho’s dark farce revolves around a close-knit but struggling family which lies and cheats its way into a well-off household. To mention any more plot details would be to risk spoiling the year’s most jaw-dropping twist. Suffice it to say that, as well as being a lacerating social satire, “Parasite” is amazingly good fun.
Just in time for the 50th anniversary of the first moon landing, Todd Douglas Miller’s immersive documentary chronicles the Apollo 11 mission using a wealth of crisp, candid, previously unseen footage shot in Mission Control, onboard the rocket and on the lunar surface. There are no voiceovers or retrospective interviews. Instead, the proceedings unfold in the present tense, astonishing the viewer anew with their breathtaking scale and the matter-of-fact composure of the three astronauts.
