Collected Data

"It’s worth keeping in mind the fact that lists such as these can be as misleading as they are illuminating."

Steve Gravestock writing for TIFF;

For all the telling changes on this year’s list, there was still a stable core of familiar favourites, films which seem to have established a more or less permanent place in our national cinematic consciousness. Atom Egoyan’s masterful adaptation of Russell Banks’ The Sweet Hereafter placed third for the second year in a row, while Denys Arcand’s beloved Jesus of Montreal and David Cronenberg’s most disturbing, yet most austere work (at least for him), Dead Ringers, returned as well.


Top 10 Canadian films of all time

Two films I would add - 32 Short Films About Glenn Gould and Project Grizzly.
