25. Benny and Joon
Jeremiah Chechik’s Benny and Joon is so different from everything else – it wants to tell a tale of love but entangles itself into a story about madness and then it strings both the subjects and creates something so messed up and beautiful; it is an absolute delight. Films today shy away from complexities of characters, but this one boldly defends its characters and shines through it. To recreate something so offbeat and impressionable as this one is challenging.
