These films depart from 'reality' ... not in order to forget the irrefutable but in order to face it, to think about it, to act on it more freely". Film critic and filmmaker Scout Tafoya of ''RogerEbert.com'' considers the year of 2011 as the best year for cinema, countering the notion of 1939 being film's best year overall, citing examples such as ''Drive'', '' The Tree of Life'', ''Once Upon a Time in Anatolia'', '' Keyhole'', '' Contagion'', ''The Adventures of Tintin' ...
