Allen Ginsberg’s Top Ten Films – part 2

Continuing from yesterday’s listing of “Allen Ginsberg’s Top Ten films”.

We begin today with the very earliest that he cites, Sergei Eisenstein‘s 1925  Броненосец«Потемкин» Bronenosets Potyomkin (Battleship Potemkin)

The Franco-centric nature of Allen’s choices we’ve remarked upon already –  two Jean Cocteaus and two Marcel Carnés. This is the second one of Carné’s, his classic  1938  film noir, Le Quai Des Brumes (Port of Shadows)

et aussi français – Jean Renoir‘s 1937 La Grande Illusion (The Grand Illusion)

Here’s Allen’s final choice, his utterly remarkable  Heaven and Earth Magic
