Ryan (2008)

Visually stunning.  The cinematography is what made the film for me.  The constant pull of focus between background and foreground complimented the emotions of the character along with the improvised dialogue which gave the film a sense of realism, and the use of no dialogue which portrayed tension.  The film has a real British cinema feel about it, a simple narrative portrayed sublimely by a well developed character who makes the transition from adolescent to anti-social.  Very reminiscent of French and British New Wave cinema.
