A Film a Year
If you're just joining us, this is the hub for my new project, an exploration of film over time. I'm watching one film from each year since the motion picture was invented, so this is a convenient way for me to collect all my writing about them.
If you're especially fanatic, you'll want to see the post that introduced the project to the world and the revised schedule just before I embarked, but all you really need to see is this, the actual schedule, updated as I make my way through the years. Click on a film title to see my review. As always, to be continued.
