10. Blackhat
Michael Mann’s latest got a rough ride from critics and audiences
alike, an absolute disaster at the box office. I found it a thoroughly
engaging thriller that played like a ‘Michael Mann’s Greatest Hits’
package. If you’re a fan of one of America’s greatest living filmmakers, don’t let the negativity put you off - you need to see Blackhat!
9. The Tribe
Set in a school for deaf teens, this Ukrainian film was one of 2015’s
most memorable viewing experiences, playing out completely
dialogue free, with no subtitles provided to decipher the sign language used by the film’s protagonists. This placed us in the role of
outsider, as we were forced to work hard to decipher the film, but it
was an effort richly rewarded.
