MY YEAR IN FILM, 2018

Actually, my year in DVDs, i haven't been to an actual cinema in years.

I didn't buy very many new DVDs this year – i have a lot already and i still enjoy watching most of them. The new ones are indicated in red, and of these, my favourite was probably Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri. The fact that i'm an honorary Missourian had nothing to do with it (and it was filmed in North Carolina anyway). It was Frances McDormand's brilliant performance as a grieving mother that stole the show.

Of the films i revisited, Source Code is an all-time favourite, as are Casablanca, Angel Heart, Fargo (Frances McDormand again!) and The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo (original Swedish version). Watching Dogma again for the first time in many years was a delightful surprise, i'd forgotten how damned good it is and how good Alanis Morissette is – playing the Christian God exactly the way i would imagine God to be.
