IndieWire, one of the most important online cinema publications based in the USA, announced its list of ‘Best Movies of 2023’. IndieWire chose Celine Song’s In Another Life as the best movie of the year.
As the last month of the year approaches, traditional year-end lists have begun to be announced. IndieWire, which was founded in 1995 and has become one of the most prestigious cinema publications in the USA with its ever-increasing readership, announced its ‘Best Movies of 2023’ list, becoming one of the first year-end lists announced this year. The first on IndieWire’s list was the A24 film Past Lives, directed by Celine Song. The film, which was released in the USA at the beginning of the summer and is increasingly acclaimed, is expected to be assertive in the Oscar race next year. (In Another Life will be released in Turkey on December 8.)
What Else?
Second on the list was Chefs’ Love (La passion de Dodin Bouffant), which won Tran Anh Hung the Best Director award in Cannes’ main competition. The film created controversy in recent months when it was selected as France’s Oscar candidate, ahead of the Palme d’Or winner Anatomy of a Fall (Anatomie d’une chute). Anatomy of a Fall by Justine Triet also ranks eighth on IndieWire’s list. Third on the list is Wes Anderson’s Asteroid City.
