Cinema has likely never been written off so often. In the decade of
the 2010s, it is true, much has changed - both in how we watch
movies, and in how we see ourselves. Social media and the internet
have shaped a new understanding of the self and the world. As
streaming services multiplied our viewing options and video games
offered alluring realities of their own, the big screen faced
serious competition. Even before the usual delays between
theatrical release and further distribution became ever shorter,
movies often found themselves downgraded to mere "content", to be
clicked at on colorful screen tiles. Are all that remain to cinema
its cult of celebrity, blockbusters, and computer-animated visual
effects? Quite the contrary - even a cursory glance at our
anthology reveals a cinema that is surprisingly diverse, dynamic,
and above all alive and kicking, resulting in a decade that was
anything but boring, monotonous, and doomed to extinction. And in
all honesty: Would you really be satisfied watching all the films
compiled here purely via streaming? The movie theater remains a
place of yearning, and our book lets you feel its powerful breath.
Each of the 100 most compelling movies of the decade is discussed
in detail by editor Jurgen Muller and his team of authors, and
illustrated with a wealth of visual material. The volume also
includes biographies of actors and directors, box-office takings,
background information, and a comprehensive list of Oscar (R)
winners from 2012 to 2021. For Jurgen Muller and Philipp Buhler in
their wide-ranging introduction, Quentin Tarantino's masterpiece
Once Upon a Time... in Hollywood (2019) offers the perfect metaphor
for the contradictions and ambivalences of contemporary cinema.
This volume is a new milestone for all cineastes and movie lovers!
