As of April 7th, we at Cinelogue belatedly celebrate our first year out of the womb. Painfully conceived in the minds of the brothers Mesaros, Cinelogue has striven to be a premiere truck stop on the superhighway of film analysis. We celebrate not with candy-filled paper-mache beasts and fermented drink, but with more film analysis. To mark our One-Year Anniversary a few of our writers were asked to submit lists of esoteric films – ones they feel very strongly should be seen by any lover of film.
