8. Taxi
The subject of a filmmaking ban imposed by his government, Iranian filmmaker Jafar Panahi has managed to sneak out three feature
films under such conditions. Taxi is the best of the three, a wild ride
through the streets of Tehran that blurs the lines between fiction
and documentary while providing sly commentary on the country’s
regime and cinema itself.
7. The Visit
M Night Shyamalan has been in the wilderness for several years,
but The Visit saw him make a triumphant return to the promise of
his early work. A scaled back production, The Visit saw Shyamalan
inject new life into the found footage genre, delivering scares and
laughs in equal measure.
