Bong Joon-ho’s Favorite Movies of 2021 Include ‘Don’t Look Up’ and ‘The Mitchells vs. the Machines’

February 3, 2022 Jordan Ruimy

Korean film magazine FILO posted their best of 2021 coverage and the lists of Bong Joon-ho and Ryusuke Hamaguchi popped up.

Bong’s best films of 2021:

∙ Don't Look Up
∙ Drive My Car
∙ Flee
∙ Sundown
∙ Sorry We Missed You (2019)
∙ The Mitchells vs. the Machines
∙ Happening (L'événement)
∙ Sewing Sisters

He also listed Hamaguchi’s 5-hour opus “Happy Hour” (2015) as one of the best things he’s seen the last year.

Also, let us not forget that Bong was President of the Venice jury in September. The Golden Lion winner, Audrey Diwan’s “Happening,” appears on his list, but so does Michel Franco’s excellent “Sundown.”

Hamaguchi Ryūsuke's best films of 2021 veer much more towards the arthouse, and it seems as though, much like the rest of Europe, Kelly Reichardt’s cinema is being discovered by Hamaguchi.

∙ Benedetta
∙ Isabella
∙ Haruhara San's Recorder
∙ Third Time Lucky
∙ Meek's Cutoff (2010)
∙ Old Joy (2006)
∙ First Cow
∙ Undine
∙ Bad Luck Banging or Loony Porn
∙ Memoria
