Independent financing has set truly imaginative directors into free flight. This is a moment of extraordinary cinematic invention-of filmmakers, working at a wide range of budget levels, coming up with original and personal ideas about movies and how to make them.


Artistically, the films in question range from the majestic to the meretricious. The American independent cinema is right now the flower of the world, but independence isn’t in itself a merit badge. The great surge in American filmmaking in the past ten years is due to independent financing at all levels. These Oscarizable movies are nominally independent films made by directors and actors who have long been Hollywood insiders. That’s why many of the Oscarizables-the movies getting honors from the critics groups that have so far voted (in New York, L.A., Boston, and online)-overlap with the nominations and results of the Gotham Independent Film Awards. Now most movies that aren’t franchise films have independent producers, and most director-driven projects (including high-budget ones, such as “The Wolf of Wall Street”) are backed by independent financiers, not by studios. Many of the movies on the list fall into the category of “independent” films-in the strict sense of “independent,” rather than in the sense in which it’s commonly applied today.Ĭlassic independent films were low-budget productions made by outsiders. This year, I had to cut it down, arbitrarily, to thirty. This came out to be simply the best when veteran actor Vikram Gokhale and Archit Devdhar played the grandfather and grandson duo realistically.There are years in which the list fills itself up to the mid-twenties or more. The chemistry between the grandfather and the grandson was the basis of the story. Mihiresh Joshi scores highly thanks to his brilliant acting skills.
