Movies 2020
As I’ve done for years (decades?) with anything seen for the first time from January 1 to December 31 eligible. First batch “best” - second “honorable”.
As far as I’m concerned La Flor is the peak. It’s the only film I’ve seen in years that as soon as it finished I wanted to watch it again. (No Bluray scheduled but it’s currently streaming on Criterion Channel.)
