100 Movies of the 2010s

Cinema has probably never been written off so often. The 2010s have certainly seen a lot of changes - both in the way we watch films and in the way we see ourselves. Social media and the internet have shaped a new understanding of the self and the world. As streaming services have multiplied our options for watching movies, and video games have offered their own seductive realities, the big screen has faced serious competition. Is all that's left of the cinema the cult of celebrity, blockbusters and computer-animated visual effects?

On the contrary - even a cursory glance at our anthology reveals a film world that is surprisingly diverse, dynamic and, above all, vibrant, resulting in a decade that was anything but dull, monotonous and doomed to extinction. And to be honest, would you really be satisfied watching all the films collected here exclusively via streaming? Cinema is still a longed-for place, and our book lets you feel its powerful spirit.

Each of the 100 most compelling films of this decade is discussed in detail by editor Jürgen Müller and his writing team, and illustrated with a wealth of imagery. For Jürgen Müller and Philipp Bühler, Quentin Tarantino's masterpiece Once Upon a Time... in Hollywood (2019) is, in their comprehensive introduction, the perfect metaphor for the contradictions and ambivalences of modern cinema.
