What movies does John Waters think are the best of 2022?
It’s that time of year again when beloved filmmakers begin to reveal their favorite films of this past year. While Sight & Sound’s once-a-decade poll launched last week naming Jeanne Dielman 23, quai du Commerce, 1080 Bruxelles as the greatest film of all time, other 2022 lists of best films are starting to arrive.
This is one of our favorite traditions that can cause a stir in the film community, with lists from mainstream to cinematic masters offering various films from across the globe that either landed on our radars or passed us by completely. One of those wonderful lists this year comes from the eccentric director John Waters, whose eclectic taste always includes a mix of unexpected and underseen films.
Waters’ top 10 films from 2022 didn’t let us down. Published by Artforum, the filmmaker’s list is topped by two François Ozon films as well as the visually dazzling EO. This list is full of drama, music, tonally strange films, and melodramatic films that will make us feel every emotion possible.
