Cloud Atlas (2012)

For me the Wachowskis' adaptation of David Mitchell's tome on standing up to authority and the little ripple effects of inspiration throughout time, is arguably the most underappreciated film this century so far. Riven with faults but aiming for the heavens and filled with stunning film-making, even on a philosophical level. The cast play multiple character in different eras as one small act of defiance reverberates forever. A masterpiece, warts and all and one of my very few 9.5/10 for any new release film.
