2013 in Film

Film in 2013 was, for whatever reason, less than inspiring. I saw far fewer films in first run than usual, and saw zero of the films nominated for Oscars before they were announced as such. Even now, one day before the ceremony, I have failed to catch up with any of the nine. So, this list will definitely change over the next few months…
