It was a strange year for cinema. The Cannes Film Festival had several really strong contenders for best movie, and bizarrely gave its Palme d’Or to Terrence Malick’s ponderous “The Tree of Life”. Normally I can watch Malick until the cows come home, but this time there was a sound of lowing in my garden. Overall there were less really strong films than in the previous couple of years, but the top ten for 2011 still contains true gems.
