Because, looking forward, 2013 promises to be such a fruitful cornucopia of cinema, we were excited to be able to easily list an additional 100 titles we are eagerly looking forward to catching in the new year. From these 200-101 titles, we’re happy to list several projects featuring the extremely busy Isabelle Huppert, include two English language projects, Ned Benson’s split film project The Disappearance of Eleanor Rigby His/Hers and the Niels Arden Oplev film, Dead Man Down (and don’t forget her French projects, a starring turn in Serge Bozon’s followup, Tip Top as well as Guillaume Nicloux’s The Religious).
Additionally, the horror genre should be extremely noteworthy in the coming year, with new projects from Neil Marshall (The Descent), Alexandre Aja (High Tension), Fabrice Du Welz (Calvaire), Lucky McKee (May) and directing team Alexandre Bustillo & Julien Maury (Inside). We’ve got two Australian beauties playing princess (Kidman as Grace and Watts as Di), and, of considerable note, a new film from Alejandro Jodorowsky, his first film to be made since 1990’s The Rainbow Thief.
Since his award winning 2009 debut The Maid, Sebastian Silva debuts two new films in 2013, both starring Michael Cera and both listed here. We have an English language debut from Anne Fontaine, not to mention new films from a bevy of excellent female French directors of note including Emmanuelle Bercot, Sophie Blondy, Agnes Jaoui, Valiere Donzelli, and Nicole Garcia. Filmmaking masters Peter Bogdonovich, Carlos Saura, Bertrand Tavernier all have new films, not to mention hotly anticipated followups from Lee Daniels, Rodney Evans, Denis Villeneuve, David Gordon Green, Shion Sono, Pia Marais, and Justin Kurzel. Glut yourself on 200 hot titles for 2013, which is shaping up to be a glorious year in cinema, indeed.
