"Wow, 2019 was a particularly strong and stunning year for film. With so many awe-inspiring visuals lighting up our living rooms, bijous, drive-ins, and multiplexes the world over, Taste of Cinema continues our exciting and tireless search for the most visually exquisite films of 2019.
As ever, such a task was no easy charge, and not one we undertook lightly, although several films stood out straight away––Bi Gan's Long Day's Journey Into Night and Terrence Malick's A Hidden Life were meant to be seen (some might argue "endured") on the biggest screens possible––and while you won't find a lot of the visually bombastic superhero fare listed here, we did make room for Tom Phillips's striking super-villain origin story, Joker."
