Ahh, the unsullied joy of the 1990s - when no one had heard of Netflix, Twitter or Facebook: what a time to be alive! The cinema was pretty good too - with the US indie charge leading the way, low-budget, smart-mouthed movies emerged from their ghetto, and changed the way Hollywood did things.
In the US, the 90s saw the rise of the candy-coloured joys of CGI animation, the sophisticated New Hollywood cinema of Spike Jonze and Paul Thomas Anderson, plus the blast-and-run detonation of the millennial-angst blockbuster. In Britain, an injection of lottery cash heralded a newfound confidence, with Four Weddings and a Funeral and Trainspotting energising UK cinema.
Elsewhere we had the bullet-ballet stylings of John Woo and the Hong Kong generation, Jane Campion’s lush, heady feminist fables, the mature work of the Chinese “fifth generation” of Chen Kaige and Zhang Yimou, and the unflinching eye of Iranian masters Abbas Kiarostami and Jafar Panahi.
