The year 2017 comes to its end and here’s a most awaited moment, a trepidation shared by the world’s cinéphiles: the top films of the year. Unfortunately, 2017 has not been a remarkable year and no film title is unanimously shared among the lists that follow. We’ve appreciated Haneke, Kaurismäki and Lanthimos, but not enthusiastically. You’ll find some outsiders and – praise the Lord – the great Agnès Varda, who gave us one the few sparkles in this misty year.

Here follow the lists of part of the AsinoVola newsroom and some of Concorto Film Festival members; as usual, we’re eager to hear your opinion!
