"Wow, 2018 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 2018.
As ever, such a task was no easy charge, and not one we undertook lightly, although several films stood out straight away (animated gems like Isle of Dogs and Into the Spider-Verse were shoo-ins, and high-rankings from Burning, The Rider, and Roma were cinched for anyone who saw these on the big screen).
The assembled list presented here offers up the finest films of dazzling depth, stirring symmetry, gorgeous framing, and assured grace that 2018 had to offer."
