Best 5 Director's Final Films
Lola Montes (Max Ophuls, 1955)
The rise and fall of a prostitute. Ophuls saved the best for last.
The Sacrifice (Andrei Tarkovsky, 1986)
Four hours of impending apocalypse Tarkovsky style. His last in an unbroken string of masterpieces.
Ivan the Terrible (Sergei Eisenstein, 1944-46)
Made back when biopics could actually aspire to something, except in Soviet Russia, where they couldn't exist at all.
That Obscure Object of Desire (Luis Bunuel, 1977)
Despite being about fetishization, Bunuel's final film would have been comparatively normal had he not cast two actresses in the same roll.
Eyes Wide Shut (Stanley Kubrick, 1999)
A rarity. An under-appreciated Kubrick film. And it remains one of his best.
"A list of the greatest films kicked out by directors before they ultimately kicked the bucket."
