2024 is already an incredible year for cinema

There is:

Poor Things

The Delinquents [Los Delincuentes], from Argentina, tragicomedy.

The Teacher’s Lounge

All of Us Strangers

Anselm 3-D

The Zone of Interest

Of course many of those came out in their respective foreign markets before 2024, but that is not the point.  Rather it seems cinema has turned a corner and is vital and original again (though not culturally central?).  The best films of 2023 list was very good as well.
