Who doesn’t love a little quality time with John Waters?
John Waters is one of the fiercest voices in cinema. His daringly independent heart and soul brings a unique perspective and reminds us that film, like all art, is a subjective medium, and should be celebrated as such.
Waters’ yearly list is something to look forward to because it usually points me toward titles I have not heard about and broadens my horizons.
So let’s take a look at this auteur’s list and a few quotes about each film from him. You can read his list with detailed notes on ArtForum.
Here’s the summary!
What Does John Waters Think Are the Best Movies of 2021?
1. ANNETTE (Leos Carax)
“The best movie of the year is an insane, over-the-top, and thankfully self-indulgent Sparks Brothers musical about an angry macho performance artist, his opera-diva girlfriend, and their daughter, who is somehow born a puppet.”
