Dennis Grunes: A short chronology of world cinema
Created by 3eyes.
Favorited 52 times, disliked 0 times, added to 45 watchlists.
Films listed in Grunes' 2010 book by that title. His selections have a decidedly leftist sociopolitical slant.
Notes:
1. For some reason IMDb won't let me add "Diavolo in corpo" (1986), but I managed to add it via ICM at the end.
2. For "September 11" (2002) Grunes specifies the final segment by Shohei Imamura.
3: Not found on IMDb: "Here and perhaps elsewhere" (Houna wa noubbama hunak, 2003) by Lamia Joreiga; "Passages" (2005) by Jon Jost.
