"2022 is finally beginning to feel like a new year, and as such, it's only appropriate to honor the films of yesteryear so that we can move onto something fresh. With the Oscar nominations out and the retrospective articles winding down, it's time for a series of last hurrahs to celebrate the end of last year. As always, Taste of Cinema will be discussing the greatest performances of the previous year.
In spite of the lingering pandemic, last year brought the goods when it came to cinematic accomplishments. Jane Campion crept out of the shadows to direct a masterpiece, Maggie Gyllenhaal showed us what she can do as a director, and Pablo Larraín directed another bizarre biopic. With these directorial achievements came a number of outstanding performances."
