KineJun Best Ten 2002

[Aaron Gerow]

The results are in for the best ten films of the year as selected by 
the critics poll for Kinema Junpo. The poll is the longest running and 
most respected (though many have complaints) of the yearly film awards.

Here they are with their Japanese titles:

1) Utsukushii natsu Kirishima
2) Akame Shijuyataki shinju misui
3) Vibrator
4) Joze to Tora to sakanatachi
5) Ashura no gotoku
6) Kagami no onna-tachi
7) Zatoichi
8) Warabinoko
9) Doppelganger
10) Bokunchi

The February 20 issue of KineJun will feature the actual voting results.
