It's Top 5 for me.
Three Burials is easily #1. Then it's Broken Flowers, Hard Candy, Three Times, and Cache. Not sure what order.
I like the psychological drama of it. The depiction of contemporary French society. That Paris backdrop.... looks heck of a lot different than my LA woods. Adoption of an Arab child into a white family. Some white lie of the past (a minor one at the time) that haunts you 40 years later. Discrimination against Arabs. All of those culiminated into a very interesting societal commentary for me.
This movie would not have been Top 10 for me in 2005 or 2006 because I preferred Brokeback Mountain and mostly ignored Haneke.
But I think in '24..... maybe the old OB users prefer Brokeback Mountain, but I think most of the guys that came after prefer Cache, at least this is what I observe. Not all of them, but I usually see it named as the top film of '05 here. Or maybe it's just my imagination?
