[KineJapan] Eigei Best and Worst Ten

[Roger Macy]

 Exactly, Eija.カメラを止めるな！ - One Cut of the Dead is a 2017 film which had a Tokyo release of November 2017. It didn't get any worse in 2018, just more famous, particularly abroad. That very much supports Aaron's comments.Roger

 And it is also very revealing that One Cut of the Dead is considered 3rd worst by these critics, maybe because it became such a commercial hit, depiste being an indie film.

The magazine Eiga Geijutsu announced its Best and Worst Ten for 2018. 
Best One was Miyake Sho's Kimi no tori wa utaeru. Worst One was Koreeda's Shoplifters.

Having participated in the EG Best Ten for 7 years, I have fond memories of it. But with shifts like the controversy last year over not allowing animated films, it is getting harder to take seriously. I knew Shoplifters would be worst one even before I saw the results, because recently they seem to always select in a knee jerk fashion any critically successful film—especially critically successful abroad—as worst one. That kind of tired predictability is not good for the magazine.
