The Clock. Christian Marclay?s 24-hour cinematic timepiece, composed of clips from thousands of movies featuring time-measuring devices of all kinds, may feel like an odd choice for a year-end best-of list, and it?s certainly the only movie I?d dare to include after having watched it for only one-twelfth of its total running time. But the two hours that I caught after waiting on line at a Chelsea gallery last winter were among the most thrilling minutes I spent in a theater this year (and certainly the best thing that?s ever happened to me in the confines of a Chelsea art gallery). ?Marclay?s impeccably edited mashup seems to be about everything at once: life, death, art, memory, and above all the inexorable passage of time. I still can?t see an image of a clock in a movie without thinking of The Clock and wishing I could watch the whole thing (preferably over the course of several days, with plenty of snacks and naps). If it plays at a museum near you (Boston?s MFA, L.A.?s LACMA, and New York?s MoMA have all acquired it this year), set aside a whole day.
