Cinema has likely never been written off so often. In the decade of the 2010s, it is true, much has changed – both in how we watch movies, and in how we see ourselves. Social media and the internet have shaped a new understanding of the self and the world. As streaming services multiplied our viewing options and video games offered alluring realities of their own, the big screen faced serious competition. Even before the usual delays between theatrical release and further distribution became ever shorter, movies often found themselves downgraded to mere “content”, to be clicked at on colorful screen tiles. Are all that remain to cinema its cult of celebrity, blockbusters, and computer-animated visual effects?
Quite the contrary – even a cursory glance at our anthology reveals a cinema that is surprisingly diverse, dynamic, and above all alive and kicking, resulting in a decade that was anything but boring, monotonous, and doomed to extinction. And in all honesty: Would you really be satisfied watching all the films compiled here purely via streaming? The movie theater remains a place of yearning, and our book lets you feel its powerful breath.
Each of the 100 most compelling movies of the decade is discussed in detail by editor Jürgen Müller and his team of authors, and illustrated with a wealth of visual material. The volume also includes biographies of actors and directors, box-office takings, background information, and a comprehensive list of Oscar® winners from 2012 to 2021. For Jürgen Müller and Philipp Bühler in their wide-ranging introduction, Quentin Tarantino’s masterpiece Once Upon a Time... in Hollywood (2019) offers the perfect metaphor for the contradictions and ambivalences of contemporary cinema. This volume is a new milestone for all cineastes and movie lovers!

Title: 100 Movies of the 2010s
Review: Great purchase for any movie buff. All of the Taschen movie materials are great. I don't always agree with the selections that made the book, but good read nonetheless.

Title: Finally! Someone knows what a decade is.
Review: I could nitpick about what's missing (Hereditary???) but I just want to say this: finally a survey book that knows that a decade starts at a number ending in 1 (one) and ends with number ending at 0 (zero)!! How hard is this for everyone else to understand? So the last year of the 20th Century was 2000, not 1999. So five stars for radically simple intelligence. (Then again this was a German book.) Just to be clear this book starts at 2011 and goes through 2020.

Title: Great Book with two notable missions
Review: As usual, Taschenâs book on the decade in movies is a home run though not quite a grand slam. There are four omissions that are inexplicable1, The Green Book, Best Picture Oscar winner2, Once Upon a timeâ¦â¦,in Hollywood, a Tarantino classic.3. The Irishman, powerhouse performances and a great, though factionalized, story4. American Hustle, my favorite pic of the 2010s, should have won Best Picture Oscar over 12 Years a slave.All in all well worth the steep price notwithstanding the glaring omissions

Review: Excellent book and very good content, but be aware it's not an exact match for the previous volumes in the series. In stands a little taller and the style is a little different, with the title being '100 Movies of the 2010s', rather than 'Movies of the 2010s'.

Review: Compre el libro aún sabiendo que era la edición en Inglés, al fin y al cabo la gracia de este libro reside en sus fotos y fichas de las pelÃculas y pese a que sabÃa que no lo iba a poder disfrutar tanto querÃa completar la colección de taschen, pero me llevé una desilusión cuando descubrà que han cambiado el formato respecto a la colección de cine por décadas que le precedÃa, asà que no coincide con el de la década de los 2000, siendo este nuevo un pelÃn más alto, en tapa dura con sobrecubierta y aparte de adquirir la nueva nomenclatura de "100 movies of..."Una verdadera pena que Taschen haya decidido omitir el castellano en sus ediciones, para los que no nos defendemos bien en inglés la verdad que no sé si merece la pena, aún asà una buena edición marca de la casa, como suele ser habitual.
