Digging through the 30-year anniversary set released by sonyclassics, panther_BL found a cinematic history archiving the changes, hopes, and disappointments in the world's culture:

topple like the Berlin Wall as I cleave it open. Inside this gem are 11 crystalline examples of post-Cold War cinema, breathtakingly rendered in 4K.

There is no better film about the infinite loops we found ourselves in at the so-called “end of history” than Tom Tykwer’s 1999. Lola is constantly pursuing money to save herself and her boyfriend Manni from greedy thugs. Yet time keeps restarting. Here, at the end of the millennium, we, like Lola, must learn from our repetitions to break into something new. Tykwer’s imaginative tale confronts loops of history with loops of cinematic form.

. Almodovar’s tenderhearted surrealism hides spirits among the living, allowing genuine moments of surprise and humanity. His camera, which sees all, rightfully mocks us at times. Yet it always welcomes us into a queer world that runs counter to “normal” society.

The set thus concludes with a film caught between its contemporary progressive politics and a nostalgia for a more ordered world. Luca Guadagnino’s 2017 filmis the only movie from the Trump era to be included in this set, but it nevertheless encompasses the liberal hope of the age. Despite whispers of fascism that still stalk about, the film believes in a truce between the modern and the classical.
